This isn’t the first time central sewer service has been discussed but rather with the sheer determination liken to the success of the Rural Lorain County Water Authority, this group of Township Trustees and Village Officials recognized the wisdom of pursuing a long term plan for this much needed utility in the rural unincorporated areas of Lorain County."
