The Lakewood Wastewater Authority (LWA) is located between Lansing and Grand Rapids. The authority encompasses the Village of Lake Odessa and Odessa Township in the County of Ionia and the Village of Woodland and Woodland Township in Barry County. The service area includes all properties within the Villages of Lake Odessa and Woodland, along with properties around Jordan Lake in the Odessa and Woodland Townships. This includes nearly 1,400 connections and encompasses 6.8 square miles of land and 17 lift stations. The Little Thornapple River, which originates from Jordan Lake, is the receiving stream for treated wastewater which discharges at the lake outlet.
The area is well served by Michigan's transportation network. Highway I-96 passes through Ionia County between Grand Rapids and Lansing, and the area is located between the international airports in Kent and Ingham Counties. While manufacturing has suffered in Michigan, Lake Odessa area's manufacturing sector has thrived, due to its focus on agriculture and food processing. The surrounding townships and the Barry and Ionia Counties are known for crop-related agriculture, poultry, and other livestock. Recreation and tourism are also strong in these areas. The LWA can process up to 1.1 million gallons of liquid waste per day, with over 400 tons of solids removed per year. The LWA is overseen by a six-member board with representatives from the service areas. The daily operation of the plant and collection system is accomplished by a Superintendent, Asst. Superintendent and three wastewater operators. The LWA works to protect the public and the environment as we thoughtfully plan for the future. We invite you to browse our website.
