Homes below Express 61 within Duluth Township are part of the Duluth North Shore Sanitary District (DNSSD). Instead of septic systems, these homes and businesses are tied into a sewer line that is connected to WLSSD.
A volunteer board meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, at 7:00am, at French River Lutheran Church. The public is welcome to attend these open meetings.
Homeowners are expected to understand and take responsibility in caring for their part of the this sewer line, and the board publishes newsletters to aid in that effort.
