Fire and Emergency

Lake Andrew Township is primarily served by the New London Fire Department and if necessary, by nearby fire departments that provide emergency response and fire protection services. The township coordinates with these departments to ensure coverage and safety for all residents.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Obstructions in the road or right-of-way (ROW) such as parked vehicles, personal items, or planted trees/shrubs can delay or prevent maintenance. These are prohibited under township ordinances. Please review the Ordinances for full details.  If you need to place a septic field or other items in the right-of-way complete a Right-of-Way Application/Agreement by contacting the clerk at: info@lakeandrewtwp.gov.

Please be considerate of pedestrians, bicycles, UTVS and golf carts as well as other drivers by driving safely at all times.

If you have a concern or complaint about road maintenance, we invite you to attend our monthly Board of Supervisors meeting. Preview the calendar for the next scheduled regular meeting.

To ensure safe and effective road access with proper water drainage, Lake Andrew Township requires a Driveway Permit for creating a new driveway access to a township road and/or replacing or installing a culvert.

For questions about the permit process, please contact the Township Clerk at: info@lakeandrewtwp.gov.
