Storm Sewers ~ The Metropolitan Sewer Board boundary runs from the southwestern corner to the northeastern corner of the township; the area to the south and east of-this boundary, Service Area No.. 3, is more heavily developed and will likely require sewage facilities at some future time. Midland Consultants, Inc. completed a study in August of 1971 Which-noted that all existing development within the township is served tJY on-site septic tank-soil absorption systems of sewage disposal. Their conclusion is that the concentration of commercial establishments along Highways 10 and 52 is the area that should receive highest priority for sewage works planning; It is-their opinion that "the density of residential development is sufficiently low in the presently developed' areas to discourage public sanitary sewage collection service. This is because of the opportunities on the large lots to replace malfunctioning private systems and because of the high cost per residential unit of public sanitary sewage collection service that would result from the present spacing of residences." One 'exception might be the more densely developed residential area.in the southeastern corner of the township.
