People are dumping yard waste and other items along the edge of the Lake Township Fire Department property/ parking lot on West Shore Dr. Chief Wrzesinski is asking the community for common courtesy to not use Township property as their personal dumping ground. The Fire Department will be posting signs and may take further steps if the behavior continues.

Thanks, Lake Township Board.
