Which of the three Trustees represents the area of the Township where I live?
Each Trustee represents the entire Township. If you have questions or need to speak with a Trustee, any (or all) of them may be contacted.


When, if ever, can I expect to have Wadsworth City utilities (electric, sewer, cable) where I live in the Township?
Wadsworth Township doesn't pursue acquiring City utilities for Township residents and the City doesn't prioritize providing to areas with low housing density outside the City limits. Where utilities are present in the Township is frequently a result of a subdivision developer bearing the cost to bring the lines to an area he is trying to develop and market.


What are the rules for burning in my backyard?
There is a 'no open burning' policy. You are not permitted to burn trash, leaves, etc. but are permitted to have a small, confined fire for cooking purposes only. It's always a good idea to consider how dry and windy it is before starting a fire and to have a garden hose nearby for extinguishing it.


Does anyone from the Township pick up raked leaves and branch trimmings?
