Water & Storm-water Responsibilities
The Department oversees the installation of water and sewer mains, storm drains, manholes and fire hydrants. We also administer the Township's storm-water management activities. In addition, we also work closely with the Oakland County Water Resources Commission on soil erosion issues and with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy on matters involving our lakes, rivers and wetlands.
