Announcements

The Election Commission will meet at township hall at 10am on Wednesday September 30th. The purpose of the meeting is to appoint election inspectors for the upcoming November 3rd, 2020 election.

The public is invited to attend.

Charlevoix Township Water Department will be performing a “Fall Time Routine Hydrant Flushing” as part of their Hydrant Flushing Program. 

The flushing is scheduled to start-

• South Side Monday October 12^th 2020 to Friday October 16^th 2020

• North Side Monday October 19^th 2020 to Friday October 23^rd 2020.

Hydrant Flushing will be limited to the hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. 

A large amount of water will be filling ditches and sides of the road. Please be advised this is normal procedure being performed.

During this time, customers may notice episodes of decreased water pressure or discoloration of their water. Water discoloration results from temporary disturbances of the normal water flow within our piping network. These short-term changes in flow can stir up naturally occurring minerals and sediment that settle within the water mains. 

The objective of the water main/hydrant flushing program is to remove these accumulated sediments from our pipes by flushing the water out of the fire hydrants. 

If your water becomes discolored please run your water thru a non-aerator faucet until water is clear. Thank You for your time and patience as we perform these routine services on our system.

We Please ask during this “Corona Virus- COVID-19 Outbreak” Residents DO NOT approach employees, as we are trying to keep both residents and employees healthy.

This report covers the drinking water quality for the Charlevoix Township Water System for calendar year 2018. This information is a snapshot of the quality of the water that we provided to you in 2018. Included are details about where your water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) standards.

Powered by Badger Meter in association with your water utility, EyeOnWater lets you connect to supported water utility accounts to you see how much water you’re using and can even alert you to possible leaks on your property.

• Archery hunters are able to hunt in urban areas. There is no safety zone associated with archery equipment anymore so this is a viable option for many urban areas. They need the appropriate licenses to hunt during the season and we highly recommend that neighbors are made aware and are supportive of the hunting activities.
• Wildlife Services is an excellent option for urban areas since they are able to perform the removals efficiently and quietly.
• Managed Hunts- we have had these in the past, often times local law enforcement takes the lead with these. If it’s out of season we provide the permits and can help with guidance.
• Education campaigns are a big part of this in order to get approval from home-owners in many areas. It’s also important to educate about ways to deter deer from areas (certain plants are unpalatable for deer, no feeding of wildlife in these areas, etc.).
• If a hunter shoots a deer and it runs onto someone else’s property they are not allowed to retrieve the deer until they receive permission from the landowner. If the landowner doesn’t give permission the hunter must let the lie.
