Weather forecast:
1. Saline Considers $580K Mill Race Repair, New Information Emerges (thesuntimesnews.com) — Saline City Council has delayed a $580,000 repair to the city’s mill race, a key part of the Saline River dam system under U.S. 12, after new inspections showed the structure is more stable than first thought. Officials now have about 60 days to explore cheaper or alternative fixes, while state regulators say conditions are safe enough for further study this construction season.
2. USEF Names Young Rider Dressage Combinations For 2026 European CDIOY Competitions (chronofhorse.com) — A young dressage rider from Saline, Campbell Jones, has been selected to represent the United States at two major European youth competitions in Belgium and Germany this May and June. Riding her Dutch Warmblood gelding Nation VDL, she’ll compete alongside other top American young riders in Nations Cup events that are considered close to world championships for youth dressage.
3. DTE vows 2-year pause on rate hike requests after proposing $474.3 million investment (cbsnews.com) — DTE’s latest $474.3 million grid investment request specifically excludes costs tied to its controversial data center contracts in Saline Township, where residents have pushed back. The utility promises no new rate hike requests until at least 2028 if its first supported data center comes online as planned, while projecting nearly $9 billion in electric system improvements through 2045.
4. YCUA Board approves 12-month moratorium on providing water to data centers (michigandaily.com) — A regional utility board has paused new water and sewer hookups for large data centers, a move that could influence similar projects like the one already operating in Saline. Leaders say the 12‑month moratorium allows time to study environmental, electrical, and community impacts before more high‑demand facilities move forward.
