WESTERN WASHTENAW CONSTRUCTION
AUTHORITY
The Western Washtenaw Construction Authority
(WWCA), often referred to as the “Building Authority”, is a regional
body whose members include Freedom, Bridgewater and Manchester Townships, and
the Village of Manchester. The
WWCA acts as the permitting and enforcing agency for building activities
and soil erosion/sedimentation control for these governments. It is
responsible for building and trade permits, and corresponding
inspections, as detailed in the documents identified below.
Building permits and corresponding
activities for Bridgewater Township are
processed by the Western Washtenaw Construction Authority.
Contact Dale Behnke at
the WWCA for any questions regarding applications, permits and
inspections. Dale Behnke is
generally in the office from 8:00
AM until 10:00 AM, and
then leaves for appointments.
In addition to traditional building
permits and inspections, responsibility for Soil Erosion and
Sedimentation Control (SESC) permits has recently been transferred to
the WWCA. All requirements and forms associated with
SESC activities are contained in one document, the Soil
Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program Guide.
