Sewer from the township, water from somewhere else
The township's utility page lists Cedar Glen Lakes in the Western Service Area for sewer only. That suggests your water may come from a different supplier. Check your water bill to see who sends it, because a main break and a sewer backup go to different places.
If sewage is backing up in several drains at once, the township's sewer system may be involved. If water pressure drops or water stops, look at your water supplier's number on the bill first. For problems inside your own unit, call us.

A village of clubhouses and ponds
Community listings describe Cedar Glen Lakes as a 55 and older community with two clubhouses and several ponds. The 2020 Census counted 1,517 residents. Listings say homes were built from 1970 to 1979 and include attached and single-family types.
Homes from that decade may have original fixtures. Look for slow drains, cloudy hot water and drips under sinks. If you live in a village where the association handles shared parts, ask what the fee covers before you pay for a repair.
Signs to watch in a 1970s village home
- Slow drains in more than one fixtureThe branch line or main may be partly blocked. See sewer camera inspection if it repeats.
- Hot water that smells or looks rustyThe tank may be failing. Water heater repair or replacement may be needed.
- A toilet that runs or fills slowlyWorn flapper or fill valve parts are common. Toilet repair is a short visit.
- A drip under the kitchen sinkTighten what you can reach, then call. Faucet repair covers worn parts.
The Western system reported iron up to 1.08 parts per million in 2025, but that is for the township's own water. If your water comes from another supplier, use that supplier's quality report for iron and hardness.
