The Planning Board supported <br /> Seven Mile Creek as the top priority reservoir and Seven Mile Creek <br /> was included in the Land Use Plan for Cheeks Township. Willhoit <br /> continued that a mechanism needed to be in place to acquire property <br /> as it becomes available and to flag development proposals for the <br /> reservoir site.
