About

n 1986, the Western Townships Utilities Authority (WTUA) was formed by the Charter Townships of Canton, Northville and Plymouth. It was established to identify an alternate means of providing sanitary sewer services and wastewater treatment for the townships other than that provided by the Rouge Valley Sewage Disposal System and the Detroit Water and Sewer Department. The Authority was incorporated by the townships to acquire, construct, finance, purchase, own, improve, enlarge, extend and operate a sewage disposal system to meet the existing and future needs of these communities. WTUA is governed by a Board of Commissioners consisting of the Supervisor of each of the three townships.
