Water Quality committee for
Highway23. Two meetings have been

lake. Phosphate level now is 50 parts per

is working on hook ups on the north side with east side to follow. Duninick received the bid on the south side of the

overlay will be placed on the north side and two on the east side. Open House for the water and sewer plant will be

August. Mr. O’Connor asked about sewer
and water hookups at County Park # 5 and the bridge at Indian Beach Resort which is within
Irving Township. |

Mr. Peterson stated that few
variances were applied for during the winter months but they were beginning to come forth
now. The issue is the same with “set
backs from the lake and road.” |

Grant Program is in the second year. The
grant was for $105,000.00 of which Green Lake Property Owners Association donated
