The Township contracts with the City of East Lansing for treatment of all sanitary sewage originating in the Township.

All public streetlights in the Township are owned and operated by either Consumers Energy or the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL). Consumers Energy services the majority of the Township excluding areas on our extreme western border. Depending on the electric company for your residence, usually the streetlight near you is serviced by the same provider. If you see a streetlight that is out or not functioning correctly you may report it to Consumers Energy or Lansing Board of Water & Light.

The Ingham County Road Department (ICRD) is responsible for all road maintenance and operations in the Township (excluding Grand River and Saginaw Highway- MDOT roads). If you have a pothole or other concern regarding roads, curb/gutters, signs, traffic signals and trees between the road and the sidewalk, please contact the ICRD at 517.676.9722.

In cooperation with ICRD, Meridian Township is engaged in a 10-year effort to improve all of the local road in Meridian. For more information on this program please contact us at dpw@meridian.mi.us or by telephone at 517.853.4440.
