4/20/13- Genoa and Oceola Townships will work together to provide better sewage treatment for the Oak Pointe Subdivision. Genoa Township is the owner and operator of the Oak Pointe Sewer System, but has approved an agreement that will add flows from this system to another that they own in partnership Oceola Township. The two municipalities currently split ownership of a waste water treatment plant. Officials say the arrangement will solve the subdivisionâs issue with sodium and chloride in waste water discharges, save money, and reduce energy and chemical use by converting the Oak Point Sewer System to a pump station and treating its flows at the Genoa-Oceola Treatment Plant. Both sewer systems will receive additional improvements once the Sewage Treatment Agreement is approved by both townships. (SO)
