L’Anse Now Has Guidelines For Generating Electricity

Residents and business owners in the village of L’Anse who want to install their own electrical generation equipment now have guidelines to work with.

At last night’s meeting, manager Bob LaFave explained the Parallel Generator ordinance.

The ordinance sets out the technical requirements for interfacing private devices with the village electrical utility, and sets compensation for when those devices feed power into the grid.

LaFave said the need for the ordinance became clear when the village attached its own solar array to its system.

L’Anse has a new lead operator for its waste treatment system.

Erin Lahti will begin her duties on September 14th.

She has been on the staff of the Portage Lake Water and Sewer Authority.
