Highland Park

Highland Park and the Great Lakes Water Authority have been battling in court for years. The city contends that it should only be paying rates agreed to in 1996, when the city of Detroit provided its water. Last year, Highland Park stopped putting water payments in escrow, supposedly because of the overcharges.

Highland Park has been selected as one of 22 U.S. cities for a federal program supporting community-based clean energy. The goal of the Communities Local Energy Action Program (LEAP) is to help cities gain control over their “clean energy future.”
