The Livingston County Drain Commissioner's Office manages and operates nearly 12 small community sanitary sewer systems, as well as a municipal collection system, the Livingston Regional Sanitary System (LRSS.)
Current community sanitary sites that are maintained by our Office: Deer Creek, Eagle Ravines, Greenock Hills, Highland Hills, Irish Hills, Long Lake Pines, Oaks at Beach Lake, Orchard Estates, Portage Bay Highlands, Sandy Creek
The
Livingston Regional Sanitary System serves more than 2,000 customers located in Hartland and Tyrone Townships and contains combinations of individual grinder pumps, step-pumps and gravity connections.
In 2007, the Livingston County Board of Commissioners banned the application of septage (septic tank waste) on all properties in Livingston County in order to protect its citizens from the contamination risk that is posed to surface water and groundwater. To address the need for septage disposal, the Department of Public Works designed and built a state-of-the-art septage receiving station to handle this flow located in Hartland Township.
The flow is transmitted north through the Livingston Regional Sanitary System to a treatment facility in Genesee County.
