These improvements give Northern the ability to make a positive impact on the quality of life of the residents within its Units of Development.  This impact goes far beyond provision of storm water protection and safe and well-maintained roadways.  Northern owns and maintains vast wetland preserves, which, through proper maintenance, provide unique natural ecosystems for the community.  Northern takes water quality issues associated with the surface water management systems very seriously.  This interest is reflected in our investment in a program to install and maintain over 600 aerators. The program provides an aesthetic value that is realized and appreciated by the residents. Northern’s aquatic weed control program provides a level of service, which exceeds that required for storm water protection.
