RLI remains concerned about the large cost incurred by RLI Members while most of the Tyrone Township sewer system remains unused. We will continue to work with the Drain Commission and Township in an effort to control costs and require others to pay their fair share.

Rate details can be found on the Sewer page. We now pay $877/yr for sewer service, an increase of $637/yr (265%) since 2003! This does not include the special assessment levied for the 2003 system upgrade, an additional $300/yr for most, or the additional $650 assessment for the grinder pump! Are we really paying our fair share or are we subsidizing the rest of the undeveloped system? Ask your township officials!

Purple Loosestrife Alert If you see and can access the invasive plant Purple Loosestrife (spikes of purple flowers), please cut off the blooms and bag them carefully in a plastic garbage bag. Tie up the bag and place it in your trash. One plant has millions of seeds that will fall if not removed. This is an undesirable invasive plant that will choke out native plants. More information and pictures can be found here.
*Goose Control* As requested by the Membership, a permit has been obtained for the removal of geese from Runyan Lake. Removal occurred on June 28th.
