UPDATE: The Township’s Contractor (JVI Group, Inc.) is scheduled to begin tree clearing activities on June 8th with installation of stormwater facilities along lakeside beginning later in the same week.
Expect traffic delays during this time as the work along Lakeside Drive and Lumber Street will require flagging. A full closure of Lakeside Drive may also be needed in the following weeks. If necessary, JVI Group will coordinate with local residents to ensure access to homes.
The Township has planned four drainage improvement projects for the 2026 project year. The work will include upgrades to existing stormwater and sanitary sewer facilities. Below is a general description of each project, along with available pdf plans of the projects.
