The Northfield Township Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in 1963-1964. It was expanded to handle Whitmore and Horseshoe Lakes and as a result of a series of lawsuits brought by the Lakeland Homeowner's Association, which represents people living downstream and downlake from the Treatment Plant's discharge. The history is written in the documentation of the lawsuits.
We have collected the following documents from various sources and meeting packets. Many are photocopies and almost impossible to search for as such. We have extracted everything we could find. There are a few more on the way, maybe as early as tonight. Some of the maps and drawings are rotated 90 degrees. Use the rotation control of your PDF viewer to right the image. If I get time, I'll repost the pdfs with those images upright.
