On April 22, 1833, Bloomfield Township was divided in two, and the western portion was called West Bloomfield. The area was spotted with appleorchards throughout much of the 1800s. In fact, the plentiful apple trees located on an island in one lake led to the naming of the body of water as Orchard Lake, and the aforementioned island as Apple Island.
Geography
West Bloomfield is sometimes referred to by its residents as the "lake township of Oakland County", being heavily dotted with small and medium-sized lakes. Cass Lake, the largest lake in the county, is in part of West Bloomfield, and Pine Lake, which has a private country club on its shore, is only a few miles away from Cass and lies completely within West Bloomfield. In addition, directly west of Pine Lake is Orchard Lake, which also has a private country club on its shore. Orchard Lake is surrounded by the city of Orchard Lake Village. Several smaller lakes are scattered around these larger ones.
Officer Greg Hofelich joined Bloomfield Township Police Department in 2020.

The most recent episode of Bloomfield In Focus featured a conversation between Bloomfield Township Supervisor Dani Walsh and DTE Energy Vice Chairman and Group President Trevor F. Lauer.

Quick Links:
3:00 How Power Restoration is Prioritized
6:45 How The Grid Works
9:00 Storm Response and Hardening of The System
Per Mr. Lauer, the most common cause of damage that leads to power outages is due to straight-line winds, especially in heavily-treed areas. He added, “during these storms, the number one thing we focus on at DTE is public safety.” DTE’s strategy focuses on calls that report downed wires. The next focus is on critical infrastructure, such as hospitals and nursing homes. Finally, work crews get their service requests prioritized based on the number of residents affected, from large numbers to smaller ones.
Additionally, he spoke about the misconception tied to areas of service in relation to the location of residents’ homes. “Our system was built mostly before homes were built around our system, so the way neighborhoods are designed don’t necessarily match the way our system is designed,” said Mr. Lauer.
Supervisor Walsh highlighted the specific needs of Bloomfield Township, having a population with 40% of residents aged 65 and higher. With regards to outages she stated, “Even someone with lower vision being in a dark home, no matter how well you know that home, it can be a scary situation.”
Mr. Lauer expressed the commitment of DTE to invest in the system, to lessen all outages. This plan includes a move towards more automation and a system with more backup capabilities that can re-route power when needed. The current average outage is 109 minutes, which is even more impactful to the growing number of residents that work from home.
In conclusion, Supervisor Walsh expressed thanks to the dedicated workers of DTE and local arborists. She stated, “they’re usually working in the worst conditions possible, hail, rain, wind and they deserve our respect.”
DTE also provided the following resources for information about the grid, safety tips and future projects:
