The amount is twice what the township contributed in 2020, as the cost of the herbicide has increased, Breitung Township Superintendent Steve Mulka said.

Eurasian watermilfoil is an aquatic invasive plant. The LAA will use the money to treat 5.15 acres of milfoil beds in Lake Antoine with two herbicides to compare effectiveness, according to a memorandum from LAA Secretary-Treasurer Jeff Jayne.
