During business hours call Village Hall at (616) 842-1393. After business hours and weekends call (616) 844-2104.

If you have back flow damage, you must file a written claim with the Village of Spring Lake, within 45 days after the back up or overflow was discovered. Notice should be mailed to the Village Clerk’s office at 102 W. Savidge Street, Spring Lake, MI 49456. Failure to provide the required notice will automatically prevent recovery of damages.

Trees for Village Residents

It’s the time of year to adopt a Village tree! We would love for our Village residents to take part in this amazing program. Please email Darcie Benter at dbenter@springlaketwp.org or call Village Hall at 616-842-1393 and ask for Darcie if you would like to participate!

The Village does reserve the right to plant a different variety or species of tree per the Tree City USA Guidelines.
