FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich. – The boil water advisory that affected 12 Oakland County communities was lifted Sunday in all areas except for parts of northwest Farmington Hills.
Farmington Hills north of Interstate 696 is in the clear, but the folks in the subdivisions in that area still cannot drink the water.
After the loss of water pressure near Halsted and 14 Mile Friday night, the Oakland County water resource commissioner ordered a new set of water quality tests.
That pushed back the timeline for lifting the advisory in Northwest Farmington Hills until at least Monday morning.
More than 300,000 people in 11 Oakland County communities were impacted by the boil water advisory.
It was issued last Monday after a 48-inch water main broke on 14 Mile between Farmington and Drake.
That caused a loss of water pressure in the water transmission system.
Families have been boiling their water and buying cases of bottled water.
"I hope we get through it," resident Sam Nagor said.
