DEAR RESIDENTS OF BEAR LAKE TOWNSHIP, PLEASANTON TOWNSHIP,

ONEKAMA TOWNSHIP, AND THE VILLAGE OF BEAR LAKE:  

Last week, a mailing was sent out containing documents pertaining to the proposed new Two Lakes Collaborative Sewer Authority (“TLCSA”) and the new proposed sewer system that would include bear lake and portage lake. The Township Clerk’s offices have received many calls and/or other inquiries of concern about this mailing. These inquiries were prompted by the fact that the clerks names and addresses were placed on the return address portion of the envelopes, containing the mailing. The placement of the clerk’s names and addresses within the envelope’s return address was not proper because the clerk did not send out these letters. The letters were in fact sent out by two lakes sewer concerned citizens (“TLSCC”).  Correlatively, the Township Clerks did not author any part of the cover letter included inside the mailing which resembles a township billing statement to some degree.          

The Two Lake Collaborative Sewer Authority (TLSA) intends to file an application for federal assistance with U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Rural Utilities Services. The project includes a low-pressure public sewage collection system covering designated properties in Bear Lake Township, Pleasanton Township, Onekama Township, and the Village of Bear Lake.
 
Any additional information may be obtained by contacting Onekama Township at (231)889-3308 or www.twolakeauthority.com, and you can continue to send comments/concerns to: tlsa.mcmi@gmail.com.

NOTICE OF INTENT TO FILE APPLICATION

Who
We Are

The TLCSA was formed by Bear Lake Township, the Village of Bear Lake, Onekama Township and Pleasanton Township in 2017 with a purpose to plan, design, engineer, finance, construct and operate a public sewage disposal system serving sewage districts in those municipal units.

We sought questions from all interests about any element of the project and have prepared factual answers that are now available here.

Our goal is a shared understanding of the facts involving this project. In the case of questions where the answer is unknown, we will state that as the case.

Please use this space, email us at tlsa.mcmi@gmail.com -  or contact us using our PO Box listed at the bottom of the page - to share your anonymous concerns about this project.
