Special Boat Ramp Access Event In an attempt
to make removal of watercraft this fall easier for many we have scheduled an
"open gate" event for September 26th - September 29th between the hours of
10am - 4pm. No appointment is necessary. A trustee or gate
keeper will be present at the ramp during these hours. An appointment
is required for other dates and times consistent with our ramp use policy as
stated below. |

This titled and registered watercraft was inappropriately
given away by a non-owner. The owner is asking for the
canoe to be returned to them. If found, or you know who
has possession, please contact us. Thank you.

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 Rates
Jan 2025 (current) rate: $197.00 per quarter
On 11/19/24 the Tyrone Township Board approved
the early payoff of the sewer bond debt. This payoff allowed for the
removal of the sewer bond debt charge in our quarterly sewer O&M fees
going forward and therefore reduces the O&M rates for 2025.
RLI remains
concerned about the large cost incurred by RLI Members who have paid off the
sewer debt owed by other intended sewer users. 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 2025 (current) rate: $197.00/quarter
Rate details and rate history can be found on the on the Sewer page.
We now pay $788/yr for sewer service. 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 did RLI
members
subsidize the rest of the undeveloped system?
Ask your township officials
about the debt service charge we paid, and who's sewer service we paid for as a result.
