As a result of COVID-19 all of the current Township meetings are being offered remotely due to the 10 person limit imposed by the Governor’s orders. To join a meeting remotely, contact the Township Office (906)358-4501 and leave your name, phone number and email address with the secretary or email the Township Clerk, Julie Mathiesen, townclerk@watersmeet.us, with your information. We want to keep the public informed as to what is taking place in the Township.

The Thousand Island Lake Road detour is expected to remain in place through the end of the September.  The large culvert has been installed, the trench backfilled and repaving is underway.  Weather conditions and contractor schedules have affected the overall timeline. However, the project is still expected to be completed by the end of the month.
