Farmland Carved Off for a Lakeside Township
The Michigan State Legislature created Chesterfield Township in 1842, carving it from a portion of Macomb Township. French explorers named the adjacent water "Lac du Ste Claire" as early as 1687, and the township sits along the western shore of Lake St. Clair today, roughly 30 miles northeast of Detroit -- a lakefront position that has shaped local water exposure since long before the 1865 arrival of the Grand Trunk Railway helped the area's businesses grow.
Lake-Level Rise Changes the Water Damage Picture
Shoreline properties in Chesterfield Township face storm-driven lake-level rise in addition to typical rainfall runoff, and distinguishing between the two -- a lake surge versus a roof or drainage failure -- matters for scoping the right water-damage response.
