Lightning Over The Lake

 

Here is video of the Wakefield Fireworks Committee's hard work paying off. Next time you see one of these members give them a big Thank You. Great show once again everyone.

 

Dear Visitors:

On behalf of the Wakefield City Council and the Citizens of Wakefield, I want to welcome you to our web page. As you enter it you will find a vast amount of information about our town. We are a small City near Lake Superior in the western end of Michigan’s UP right in the heart of Big Snow Country! We are near three of the finest ski hills in the Midwest.

We are also blessed with a beautiful lake in our town that has hosted numerous National Stock Outboard APBA  Races. Our City has invested in its park and recreation facilities and offers residents and visitors a like ample opportunities to enjoy beautiful Sunday Lake. We are also surrounded by thousands of acres of Ottawa National Forest and Gogebic County Forest land. These public lands offer the visitor a multitude of recreational opportunities. Lake Superior, with its unparalleled views and spectacular sunsets, is only a short drive away. And the fabled Porcupine Mountain State Park is also just minutes away from Wakefield.

Wakefield is also known for its Fourth of July celebration and, in particular, the fireworks display over Sunday Lake is one of the finest you will ever see. As you can see, there is much to do and see in Wakefield and the surrounding area. You will find Wakefield a great place to visit! We are a small City, but we have big hearts and we go the extra mile to insure that visitors to our town leave with fond memories of having been to “Someplace Special”.

Richard Bolen, Mayor

Tips on High Utility Bills

Large culprits for high water readings are toilets: If your water bill is unusually high, please check your toilets. This can be done by putting a few drops of food coloring in the tank and not using the toilet for a few hours. If you see color in the toilet after no use, your toilet IS leaking. You may not hear it, but it can be leaking up to 20,000 gallons of water a MONTH.

If your electric is running high, please check your water heater first (if you are not using space heaters). Typically you can see a pattern of your electrical usage gradually inclining when a heating element is not working properly.
