SEWER UPDATE
Construction of the PARCCSIDE sewer plant is still on schedule and below cost. After replacing pressure release valves and installing replacement parts in the pumps, the force main on 10 Mile Road is finally functioning properly.
There are ongoing problems with the grinder pumps and the wet wells. Usually this is the result of inappropriate materials in the sewer system. Diapers, toys, rags and grease have been found clogging the pumps. Thousands of dollars can be saved each year if everyone would use caution about what they put down the drain.
Due to the age of our sewer system, major repairs are being scheduled in Cannon and Plainfield Townships. Our share of the cost for these repairs will be approximately $170,000.00. You may expect an increase in your quarterly sewer rate as early as October 1, 2008 to cover these added charges. Watch for more details to be included with your sewer bill.
National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Michigan
rivers and tributaries stretch across hundreds of square miles in
Michigan, including highlands and lowlands. The rivers carry rain
and snowmelt runoff, or stormwater runoff, into inland lakes and
the Great Lakes. The quantity of stormwater entering our rivers,
lakes, and streams along with the pollutants it carries can degrade
aquatic habitat and water quality. We can all take simple steps
to reduce stormwater pollution. After all, the cheapest way to stop
pollution is at the source. Click here

CEMETERY NOTES
It has come to our attention that there are a number of cemetery lots marked “hold” in our records that have not been paid for. If you believe that you have placed a hold on one or more lots please contact the township offices as soon as possible to make arrangements to either purchase the lots or release them. The lot price is $150 for township residents and $250 for non-residents. We will hold lots for no longer than 60 days. Also, the township will buy back unwanted lots at the original purchase price. Proof of lot ownership (burial grant certificate) is required.
