UPDATE March 23, 2020

The health and safety of our community is Chippewa Township’s top priority. We are taking the current spread of COVID-19 very seriously. Though no confirmed cases of the virus have been reported in Mecosta County, there have been cases in our neighboring Counties. Township leaders are following the advice and recommendations of state and federal officials to take action now.

 As of today, March 23, 2020, the Chippewa Township Offices will be working on limited hours to perform only essential duties. We will be open from 9 a.m. – noon Monday through Thursday, with NO person to person contact. We ask that if you are making a payment, that you use the drop box located to the right of the entry door, and we will mail you a receipt.

 As always, if you have a Sewer emergency please call the Sewer Department at 231-867-3616.  

 The Chippewa Township Officials are always available via email Kristin@Chippewatwp.org and Julie@Chippewatwp.org. Don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns and please feel free to leave us a message on the answering machine if we are not in the office. We are hoping to resume normal business hours on April 13, 2020. Updates can be found on the Township website; www.chippewatwp.org. If it is an emergency and you feel you need to speak to someone, you may call Julie at 231-250-8425 or Kristin @ 231-679-4529, during normal business hours.

 Township officials believe taking these precautionary steps are the responsible steps a government must take to ensure the safety and well-being of the community and its employees.

 Stay Safe!
