North End Park Renovations

The Village of Pentwater is the destination of beautiful waters, wonderful people, great businesses and an assortment of parks. The North End Park is one of the many parks in our area and is now one of the major projects under way for the Village. Renovations are being made in multiple phases. Phase One of the project includes adult workout equipment, a children's play area and handicap accessible equipment. The equipment posted below has been purchased and will be installed this upcoming spring. Along with the equipment, the basketball and tennis courts will be resurfaced with one of the tennis courts being turned into a pickleball court.

We have recently received grants from Sinclair Recreation in the amount of $22,532.39 and $3,000 from the Oceana Youth Fund and the Bessie E. and Ethan Allan Gray Health Fund through the Oceana County Community Foundation.

Pentwater Rec Can Drive

We are currently not taking any cans at this time as we are behind on turning them in. If there is any one willing to help in returning them it would be much appreciated and the Can Drive can then continue.

Thank you to all that have dropped off cans and those that have helped me take them back. I truly appreciate the efforts and look forward to when the Rec Program can get back to our activities.

Sanitary Sewer Leads Homeowner's Responsibility - What You Should Know

All the drains in your home lead to somewhere, and unless you have a septic tank, the sewer lines lead out to the sewer main that services the Village. The sewer main is at the end of your property, under the street in most cases. What homeowners don't realize is that they are responsible for any damage suffered by the sewer line, all the way up to the sewer main.

In 2001 the State of Michigan enacted Public Act 222 (MCL 691.1416 seq.) to provide a statutory exception to government immunity for sanitary sewer backups on real property.
