Township Newsletter: Wastewater Treatment Plant

Date Posted: 
March 5, 2025

Hello Turtle River Township, 

I want to just make you aware of a significant project in a neighboring district. Northern Township, just to the west of our own township, is in the process of determining a plan to build a wastewater treatment plant that will be servicing much of the north shore of Lake Bemidji. This is a large facility that is currently planned to be built on the other side of Big Bass Rd NE (just west of our township). 

I attended their open discussion meeting on December 9th of 2024, and have kept myself abreast of the current path of this project, and would be happy to discuss it further for any who have questions. 

Feel free to attend any of our monthly meetings (the second Thursday of each month at 7:00pm) if you would like to discuss it more. Alternatively, please feel free to reach out to me directly at turtleriversup@gmail.com or 218-368-7550. 

You can also get documents and materials directly from the Northern Town Hall website: www.northerntownship.com, and click on "Wastewater Utilities."
