Residents tell commissioners clogged drains and overloaded log trucks have damaged local roads for years

Two residents used the public-comment period to report long-running drainage and road problems in township roads.

A resident of Albert Township said a drainage pipe has been plugged since 2014 and described repeated requests to township supervisors with little result; the resident said overloaded log trucks had contributed to road damage and urged county officials to inspect Jackson Road.

Another resident said culverts and ditches along Longers Road and McCutcheon Road have been clogged since 2011, offered to provide photos and to guide officials to the site, and asked the county to follow up with the township supervisors who oversee local maintenance.

Why it matters: clogged culverts and damaged roads can lead to property flooding, infrastructure deterioration and long-term repair costs. Residents requested attention from supervisors and offered to meet county staff on site to show the conditions.

No formal action was taken during the meeting; commissioners acknowledged the comments and advised residents to work with township supervisors and county staff as appropriate.
