Mosquito Program Cancelled
There will not be a mosquito program in Tecumseh township for 2010 as we have had for the past several years. The company that handled this for us has cancelled our service due to the recent death of the owner of this business. We are investigating alternative companies and products that could work for us.
2-1-1 Number to call for Tecumseh Township Residents for Human Service Information
Central Michigan 2-1-1 is an easy-to-remember, free phone service that links people with the human service information they need 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Central Michigan 2-1-1 provides 2-1-1 services to residents of Clinton, Eaton, Hillsdale, Ingham, Jackson, Lenawee and Livingston counties. By dialing 2-1-1, callers are connected with a community resource specialist who can discuss the callers' needs and give them the information and/or referrals they can contact for assistance. In turn, the callers get directed to the best possible services for their individual needs, and service organizations-like yours-receive better referrals and are able to identify community needs based on our call center data. Above all, our neighborhood as a whole becomes a stronger, healthier community.
D&P Cable
D&P Cable company will be continuing to work through parts of our township in the coming months. The permits were just signed for them to continue work in the Loire Valley, Milwaukee, Grange and Hawthorne areas this past week by the Lenawee County Road Commission. This will allow them to come through these neighborhoods to lay their cable lines. These lines will be bored and will be contained to the road right of way. If you have underground items like sprinkler systems you may want to mark them or contact D&P cable.
