At the recent Croswell City Council meeting, City Administrator David Tait updated residents about a water main break caused by the cold weather. Crews have pinpointed the issue in a 12-inch pipe, with minimal disruption expected. Two homes will be without water, but they’ve been notified, and repairs are underway. Meanwhile, job openings for police chief, officers, and other city positions are still accepting applications. Tait is reviewing submissions to streamline the process.
