In their meeting yesterday, the Peninsula Township Board resumed conversations about ways to pay after losing a $50 million judgement in a lawsuit brought on by the Wineries of Old Mission Peninsula. Some options discussed were cutting services such as park maintenance, sheriff's patrol, putting projects on hold, raising property taxes, and selling assets. An Attorney representing the wineries, previously claimed that public discussion on such drastic ways to pay is their attempt to garner sympathy from the public, for a problem that the township themselves caused. This comes before the attorney learned about how much insurance would cover the judgement.

He says that despite bipartisan support for relief funding for Northern michigan, which there are still areas recovering and struggling to rebuild, a measure has been stalled in the Senate Appropriations Committee for months. Both Senate Republicans, the full House and the Governor are ready to put it into action, but they still need the funding to get out of the committee before anything can get done.

Residents in Lake City ... DRINKING WATER WARNING
CITY OF LAKE CITY lost pressure and contamination may have occurred lost pressure and contamination BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Temporary Water System Shutdown
Due to a severe issue within the city's water system, the entire water system will be shut down until further notice.
Our team is actively working to identify and resolve the problem as quickly and safely as possible.
We understand the inconvenience this causes and sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during
this time. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
Due to a drop in pressure in the CITY OF LAKE CITY water supply, bacterial contamination may have occurred in
the water system. Bacteria
are generally not harmful and are common throughout our environment. Corrective
measures are currently being undertaken to correct the situation.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one
minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for
drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food. Boiling kills bacteria and other
organisms in the water. Continue using boiled or bottled water until further notice.
What happened? What is being done?
These precautionary actions are being taken due to the loss of water pressure in the water distribution
system caused by a BREAK IN THE WATER MAIN on 8/12/2025. Whenever a water system loses
pressure for any significant length of time, precautionary measures are recommended.
The CITY OF LAKE CITY is working to get pressure restored, and water staff will be taking other remedial
actions such as flushing and collecting bacteriological samples from around the system. The samples will
be collected to determine that the water quality meets the state drinking water standards. We will inform
you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water. We are working diligently to
restore service as soon as possible.
This boil water notice shall remain in effect until results from the sampling verify the water is safe to drink.
Customers will be advised when the boil water advisory has been lifted.
For more information, please contact CITY OFFICE of LAKE CITY at 231-839-4561 extension 1. General
guidelines on ways to lessen the risk of infection by microbes are available from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1(800) 426-4791.
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not
have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and
businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
