Clinton River Water Resource Recovery Facility Drain Optimization Project Notice of Meeting To Hear Objections To Apportionment of Cost

Boil Water Advisory TERMINATED - Wynstone Subdivision

How to disinfect water by boiling

• Bring tap water to a solid boil. Once the water is steadily boiling, continue to boil for one full minute. Allow to cool. Store water in a clean container (not washed in contaminated water), cover with a tight lid.

• If the water is cloudy, filter it through clean cloths or allow it to settle, and draw off the clear water for boiling.

• This includes water used for brushing teeth, making ice, washing raw foods, preparation of drinks, and water for pets. You should throw away ice made during the time the advisory or notice was issued, as freezing does not kill bacteria.

Snow Safety Reminders from DTE

Baby It’s Cold Outside!    Weatherization Tips from your Historic District Commission

Sure, those translucent stalactites dangling from your eaves are part of that quintessential winter scene, but if you have Icicles hanging from the eaves and Ice Dams on your Roof, the picturesque look is a sign that there’s a big problem with your roof and ventilation. Not only can they rip the gutters right off your house, ice dams and icicles can loosen roof shingles and let water get inside. To get rid of icicles and ice dams for good, you need to figure out how to make the roof the same temperature from the ridge to the eaves: that means making sure your attic is well insulated, eaves and ridges are ventilated, attic hatches and ducts are sealed, and any kitchen, bath, or dryer vents are vented outside—not into your attic space. 

Lost Lake Sled Hill

***PLEASE CALL BEFORE YOU GO to make sure the hill is open: (248) 651-4440 x 299.***

Ready for our first big snow of the season? We are and are keeping our fingers crossed that conditions are right to open the sled hill at Lost Lake Nature Park for your sledding enjoyment on Monday, 12/26. The park is open from 10am-5pm while conditions are safe to sled. Bring your own sled. Helmets strongly encouraged. While we are very hopeful to open the hill Monday, weather conditions may change, so be sure to call the hotline before you go! (248) 651-4440 x299

Now Open: Paint Creek Junction Park

At long last, we are so excited to announce that Paint Creek Junction Park is officially open! This almost 6-acre park is located west of Orion Road and south of Clarkston Road, adjacent to the Paint Creek Trail. It was originally purchased to meet residents’ desire for a trailhead in the northern section of the Paint Creek Trail utilizing grant dollars from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Trust Fund and an additional $50,000 in grant funding from the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Legacy Funds which covered a significant portion of the project expenses and greatly minimized the cost to taxpayers.
