Purple Loosestrife
Alert
Purple Loosestrife matures in the late summer/early fall.
If you
see and can access the invasive plant (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 and reseed the plant next year if not removed. This is an undesirable
invasive plant that will choke out native plants, especially in pond,
shoreline, and wetland areas.
More information and
pictures can be found here.

Sewer Rate Increase!
Jan 2023 (current) rate: $256.00 per quarter
On 12/1/15 the Tyrone Township Board approved
increases to our quarterly sewer O&M fees for 2016 - 2021 of
approximately 3.5% annually.
Annual increases are expected to
continue thereafter. 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.
Please contact Pam Moughler, Clerk, or
Jennifer Eden, Treasurer, @ 810-629-8631 with your questions, concerns, or
complaints.
Jan 2023 (current) rate: $256.00/quarter
Rate details and rate history can be found on the on the Sewer page.
We now pay $1024/yr for sewer service, an increase
of $724/yr (241%) since 2004! 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
about the debt service charge we pay, and who's sewer service we are also
paying for as a result!
