Delta Township welcomed seven new Firefighters this month. Throughout this month they have attended the DTF training Academy and soon our new recruits will be assigned shifts and stations and will be seen on the streets of Delta Township. We are proud to introduce you to Justin Burns, Alejandro (Alex) Gutierrez, Carter Shaw, Joseph Kordenbrock, Alex Seaton, Owen VanDerBos, and Alecia Harlow.  Please help us give them a warm welcome.

Construction has begun on the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) capital improvement project. Over the past few weeks, crews have been working on grading in the Northeast portion of the site in preparation for the construction of a new control building and clarifiers.

The Parks & Recreation 5-Year Master Plan is a document that helps guide the future development of recreation facilities and parks within the Township. While highlighting past accomplishments, this document also provides short and mid-range recommendations for park facilities, programs, and services; maintenance operations; administration and management; and capital improvements. The Township recognizes the important role that recreation plays in providing a high quality of life and improved health of its citizens, therefore updates to the master plan must take place on a regular basis to address current facility conditions, as well as community needs. The 5-Year Master Plan is also a necessary document for applying for multiple grants available annually through the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) is preparing for rolling blackouts that could be imposed this summer by the regional power grid regulator because of energy shortages outside of BWL’s service territory.

The Mid-Continent Independent System Operator (MISO) is the regional regulator which oversees the power grid for all of a portion of 15 states, including Michigan. MISO recently warned of the possibility of energy shortages this summer during times of peak demand when the weather gets hot which could result in “load sheds,” or rolling black-outs. Load shedding is the deliberate shutdown of electric power in a part of a power-distribution system, generally to prevent the failure of the entire system when the demand strains the capacity of the system.

“The BWL has a legacy of generating plenty of energy to supply our customers, however, if directed by MISO to load shed, we’ll be required by law to follow instruction,” said BWL General Manager Dick Peffley. “We’re just as frustrated as customers will be at the potential for these black-outs, however, there’s, unfortunately, nothing within our control to prevent these from happening. I’m frustrated that despite BWL’s successful strategic planning for our energy needs, our customers still potentially face the consequences from the lack of power resources elsewhere.”

The BWL will have 30 minutes after being notified by MISO to begin shedding the load. If load shedding is required, customers can expect outages to last approximately 20 minutes. BWL will issue a general statement, however, customers would not receive advance notice of their outage for security reasons. Critical services such as hospitals and emergency responders would not likely be impacted.

“We hope to minimize the impact to our customers as best as possible, but we’ll need their support to reduce their energy impact,” said Peffley.

To reduce energy demand and help prevent blackouts, customers can conserve energy to assist in preventing black-outs by doing the following:

Defer large uses of energy to first thing in the morning or the evening when it’s cooler out

MISO suggests the leading reasons for the energy shortage include electric production facilities retiring, an increase in energy usage from the pandemic, and expected higher summer temperatures.
