Sewer System Legal History, oldest first
The Northfield Township Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in 1963-1964. It was expanded to handle Whitmore and Horseshoe Lakes as a result of a series of lawsuits brought by the Lakeland Homeowner's Association, which represents people living downstream and downlake from the Treatment Plant's discharge. The history is written in the documentation of the lawsuits.
