Beware of the Lakeland Regional Sewer District and the plans they propose!
If you live on CR100N you may have a wastewater treatment plant coming your way. Your way of life will be affected. When you wake up in the morning the air have a new odor to it. Not that nice smell you are used to.
Pike Lake residents take notice! What the LRSD is proposing is going to effect you. The ditch that will pick up the water from this proposed plant heads toward Pike Lake. The area where they propose to build the plant is in a swampy type area of farmland. Could it be wetlands? If it turns out that it is wetlands then the State of Indiana will have a say about what can be built on or near this land.
I’ve attended several meetings of this LSRD. I don’t trust them or the engineering firm they are using. I do not think they know what they are doing. I firmly believe they want to put the sewer in so they can develop the area around the lakes. Put in condos and big homes. Look at Tippy Lake and all the large homes. But do sewers really help that much? Look at Grand Lake in Ohio. They had sewers but their lake still got contaminated and it was shut down by the State of Ohio.
It’s true that there are homes built too close to the lake water’s edge. But who gave them permission to build where they did and it continues to be a problem. Where is the common sense used in this whole thing?
