Township seeking plumbing experience for Citizen Board vacancy

Township manager Karen Weiss says the township's volunteer Citizen Board is currently looking to fill a vacancy. According to the township webpage, the Citizen Board exists to construct, improve, maintain, operate and finance sewer systems and sewage treatment facilities. However, Weiss said that the board seldom meets and is seeking someone with plumbing experience or know-how.
