SUPERVISOR UPDATES

  • Another Grand Lake Fuel Oil Tank Leak:  Please read this EGLE brochure if you use fuel oil:  home-heating-oil-tank-brochure
  • Township Financial Data Enter Presque Isle Township in Search
  • Volunteers Needed for Inland Lake Water Testing:  Mary Anne McCoy is looking for volunteers who would like to assist her in testing our local inland lakes.  There have been questions about bacteria and nitrates in Grand Lake, Lake Esau and Long Lake due to faulty septic systems.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me at:  supervisor@presqueisletwp.org
  • Suggest a Topic: Because our Zoning Ordinance can be quite complicated to understand, I would like to invite speakers to present topics at future Town Hall Meetings to help inform residents and taxpayers about such issues as greenbelts, setbacks, fertilizer use, etc.  If you would like to suggest a topic that you think would be of interest, please contact me at: supervisor@presqueisletwp.org
  • Attention Fertilizer Users:  We all want a green lawn that’s lush, but fertilizers containing phosphorus and nitrogen can harm lakes and ecosystems in a process known as eutrophication.  Eutrophication leads to algal blooms which produce toxins and kill marine life.  For more information, click here:  National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences: Algal Blooms (nih.gov)
  • Meeting with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO):  On April 12th, Cynthia Paavola, Matt Bedard and I met with Bryan Lijewski, Lighthouse Assistance Program Coordinator with SHPO, to discuss plans for a new parking lot and maintenance building at the New Lighthouse.  As the number of visitors to our lighthouses continues to increase each year, a lack of adequate parking has become a growing safety concern.  We are focused on protecting the historic integrity and beauty of the site while making these developments.
