Fortunately, no sewers along these rural roads. One of the local farm roads I sometimes take to get over to the state highway was badly undercut in the spring of 2009 by heavy rain and runoff, leaving it bumpy and caved in with ruts and potholes in the asphalt. You could still drive it, but had to be careful and not go too fast. I blame this damage on the stupid developers who chopped up a 250 acre cornfield north of me and along that road. They haven't sold much in this economy, of course, but they ruined the drainage all over the area.
The road is only a township road, and the township has little money of course, but they finally repaved it just this month. I don't expect it to last, though.
Sewers and water lines are at issue in Harvard itself. The street on which the library sits is mostly residential but also provides access to the hospital. It was in very bad condition, and they resurfaced between the hospital and US-14 last year. Now they've marked up all that stretch with various colored paint and I'm convinced they are about to dig it full of holes and patches again due to sewer or water issues.
