Roads
Township maintenance is currently working on pulling in road edges, filling holes and accessing what needs to be done on each road prior to the application of dust control. Bids for dust control have been advertised and will be reviewed at the May 5 meeting.
Depending on monies available in the road and bridge fund, a decision will be made if roads will be treated.
Be advised that residents are responsible for keeping their drive pipes clean and free of debris. Please clean out pipes to keep the ditches flowing.
