Adams Township has instituted the use of a new drop box at the township office building
in Baltic. This drop box can be used for all water/sewer payments, property tax
payments, and absentee voter applications and absentee voter ballots.
Public Service Announcement
After receiving phone calls regarding snow removal and filling of potholes...
Please note that Adams Township does NOT do maintenance
of any county roads or streets within the township.
Adams Township does not have the type of equipment to do any of the following:
snow plowing of roads/streets, pushing back snow banks or opening roads/streets with
a Sno Go (industrial snow blower), grading of gravel roads, or roadside grass cutting.
The Houghton County Road Commission maintains the county roads. However, please
be patient as the Road Commission has a very large area to cover.
They work diligently to keep roads in good condition year round,
as well as keeping roads passable and safe during the winter months.
Beginning with the water bill you receive in March 2019 (February actual usage),
you will notice a $1 increase in your water bill.
This is because the "base" rate for water has increased
from $25/ for the first 2000 gallons to $26/ for the first 2000 gallons.
All other retail water rates will remain the same.
If you have questions, call Heather at 482-4420 or stop in the office.
WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 2017-2018
The 2017 Water Improvement project has started in Atlantic Mine. Please bear with us
during this phase of the project as water service lines are replaced.
There will be intermittent disruptions to water service throughout the project life.
Lines will be replaced from the water main to the shut off in each yard. If your line has
been replaced in the recent past with copper line, that line will not need to be replaced.
**It is important to remember that the water line running from the
shut off to the house is the homeowners responsibility.**
If a homeowner is interested in replacing this line with a copper line, the
homeowner must make arrangements to have this work done.
Grants and low interest loans are available through Rural Development to assist with the replacement costs.
Please click the button below for eligibility requirements for the loans and grants.
If you need additional information, please contact Shelly Grenier at 906-428-1060 Ext. 4
Starting with the August 2016 Water/Sewer bill, we will be conducting a water meter
accuracy test. What this means is that all Adams Township Water/Sewer customers will
receive a monthly bill reflecting the ACTUAL water/sewage usage EACH MONTH
rather than the alternating flat bill and actual read billing previously received.
UPDATE:
Actual monthly readings/billings will continue in 2017. Response to this way of billing
has been positive as it is easier for budgeting as well as identifying excess
water usage issues.
