CADILLAC, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- A solution has been reached to the power problem at Caberfae Peaks in Wexford County.
After years of trying to repair and patch an old and outdated power system at the resort, Caberfae management said Consumer's Energy put a plan in place to fix the problem.
Crews are now replacing poles and adding new conductors to the powerlines, a total rebuild of the system.
"I'm elated, almost just flabbergasted by what a great response and how good it feels to know that after all these years of struggling with power, that we're going to have a reliable power source. That feels incredible,' said operations manager Tim Meyer.
Meyer said the power lines should be done by the end of this week.

The energy price spikes of the 1970s drove consumers, businesses and government to calculate opportunities for energy efficiency — investments, practices, and regulations to avoid some of the energy costs associated with particular products or services. Those calculations ran counter to a lot of engrained practices, and the friction between business and government is a feature of energy and environment policy discussions. Now, energy efficiency decisions — whether involving building practices, appliance efficiency, or vehicle mileage and emissions standards — are a complex mix of government regulation and market behavior.
