4/12/24 11:25 AM GENERATOR QUESTIONS ANSWERED by Doris Kemner, Clinton Village President. “Just so everyone knows,  the Village ordered a backup generator last year (this was published in our minutes that we place in the Clinton Local.). After much research and work by our Village Council, Village Manager and MIchigan South Central Power Agency, as well as American Municipal Power, we (the council) approved to order the generator from CAT (Caterpillar) out of Indiana. It is a huge build to make one of those. We anticipate the backup generator to be installed in Clinton this September.  More information will be published when we receive the generator. This will be  wonderful  for our community. Few communities our size, much less any size, have backup generators.”

UPDATE 4/12/24 10:08 AM: DTE has been notified of the outage.
