When you think of supernatural movies, Port Huron isn’t typically your first thought. Port Huron Producer/Filmmaker Daniel Williams is attempting to change that with his new web series, Gravid.

Williams is the founder of Huron City Radio, a fictitious radio station of pre-recorded shows edited together to produce entertaining content for its audience. When he isn’t working on content for Huron City Radio, Williams is probably working on one of his many other film related projects.

After wrapping up the filming, Williams has released a teaser for Gravid, a story revolving around a young couple returning to the wife’s hometown (Port Huron). During their trip they uncover dark secrets they never expected to find. The series is slated to release sometime this fall.

The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) issued an update on the timeline for restoring water service to normal operations. The new projected date of completion for repairs and testing is October 5, 2022.

The new water pipe was installed and fully closed by September 6th, and the Lake Huron Water Treatment Plant began producing the 81 million gallons of water needed to fill up the main.

Once the main was filled with water, a flushing and disinfection process began that is taking longer than expected to complete.

Suzanne R. Coffey, P.E., Chief Executive Officer of GLWA said, “We want to thank everyone for their patience as we navigate this situation together. We know that extending the timeframe to return the transmission system back normal operations will further inconvenience all of the communities and their residents, but it is necessary for us to ensure that we complete this repair in a way that safeguards the public health and the system.”

Currently the only affected area with a Boil Water Advisory is the DTE Greenwood Facility.

The past few years have been extremely challenging for many families and individuals. We are just beginning to readjust and bounce back from the pandemic that caused many to lose their jobs, homes, and more. The city of Port Huron is facing yet another blow to its community with the announcement of one of its oldest businesses set to close their doors.

Dunn Paper has been in the community providing employment since 1924, that’s 98 years and generations of families who have made a living working there. Dunn Paper manufactures paper products for the medical industry, food service, industrial and more. 

Doors are set to close November 18th at their Port Huron location with their six other locations currently being unaffected. Reasons for the closure are due to the company not generating enough positive cash flow to sustain itself due to adverse economic factors.
