Calumet Township’s $90 million sewer upgrade is backfiring—grinder pumps, vital for moving waste uphill, shut down during power outages with no backup, flooding yards and trapping residents like Debbie Guzman, whose elderly husband’s hygiene needs are now at risk. While other towns equip pumps with generators, here the cost? $3,000 per household—out of reach for many. Portable toilets aren’t cutting it. Residents say they were blindsided by this flaw, left stranded in unsanitary conditions as their town’s promise of progress turns into a plumbing nightmare.
