Township asks Oakland County to do more about sewage water BY NICK POWERS npowers@candgnews.com
CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees unanimously passed a resolution critiquing Oakland County for dumping partially treated sewage into the Clinton River. The resolution suggests that funds used for other county projects should be diverted to address the problem. It also encourages action at the state and county levels to restrict grant appropriations for Oakland County as it relates to sewage management. Though, admittedly, the resolution is more of a request than anything binding, Trustee Dan Kress, who brought the motion forward, said the resolution is the culmination of frustration with the neighboring county. “This has no teeth to it. There’s nothing we can do to stop them from dumping in Oakland County,” Kress said. “But this shows our residents and our taxpayers that we are encouraging other elected officials to make an effort to resolve this during this short window, where there may be an opportunity to make some revisions or conditions on monies received.” This is not the first time the county has passed a resolution like this. In 2022, a similar resolution was approved by the board.
