Boil water advisory lifted for all communities except northwest Farmington Hills

The mandatory boil water advisory issued for several Oakland County communities following last week’s massive water main break has been lifted for nearly all those that were affected, the Great Lakes Water Authority reported Sunday.
Water testing has confirmed that the water is safe to consume and cook within all affected communities except for residents and businesses in northwest Farmington Hills that had low water pressure on Friday.
The first round of water quality testing for northwest Farmington Hills came back clear on Sunday with no bacteria found in the water, according to the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner.
Still, the boil water advisory is expected to remain in effect for northwest Farmington Hills through at least Monday morning, according to GLWA.
Now that the water main has been repaired, the Great Lakes Water Authority is continuing to investigate the cause of the break.
“I’d like to extend a huge thank you to our GLWA crews who have worked tirelessly over the past week to repair this unexpected break as quickly as possible.
Without your around-the-clock work, we would not have been able to restore service today,” said GLWA CEO Sue McCormick in a statement on Sunday.
“I also want to thank the residents and businesses who were impacted by this unprecedented break—your patience has been greatly appreciated.
We understand how much this impacted your lives and apologize for the disruption this caused.
Last, but certainly not least, GLWA wants to thank Oakland County officials, as well as our customer communities for their strong partnership throughout this incident.” Communities affected: • Bloomfield Township • Commerce Township • Farmington Hills • Keego Harbor • Novi • Oakland Township • Orchard Lake • Rochester Hills • Wixom • West Bloomfield Township • Walled Lake PHOTOS: See over 60 images from our coverage of the water main break.

Boil Water Advisory Extended for NW Farmington Hills

The boil water advisory still in effect for the six remaining Oakland County communities was lifted Sunday after testing confirmed that the water is safe to consume and cook with, the Great Lakes Water Authority said.
We understand how much this impacted your lives and apologize for the disruption this caused.
Health officials said the advisory was precautionary after the break along 14 mile Road between Farmington and Drake.
Great Lakes Water Authority employees and sub-contractors dig up part of 14 Mile Rd.
just east of Verona St., in West Bloomfield, Mich., on Tuesday, as they fix a broken transmission water main affecting at least 11 Western Oakland County communities and more than 250,000 residents and businesses.
It was to be lifted once proper sample tests were conducted and showed the water is clear of contaminates.
A new set of water quality tests will now need to be performed for that specific area.
It was also lifted for Farmington Hills, with the exception of northwest areas of the city.
Oakland County residents are concerned about the boil water advisory affecting 12 communities.

Family turns to beer brewer in boil alert

Farmington Hills — If you’re stuck in the last pocket of Oakland County awaiting the all-clear on its water, it helps to be a home brewer.
Or a dog.
The boil water alert sparked last week by a broken water main was lifted Sunday in the final seven of 11 affected communities — Commerce Township, Orchard Lake Village, Walled Lake, West Bloomfield Township, Wixom, Novi and Farmington Hills.
The holdout was the northwest sector of Farmington Hills, where the restriction won’t be lifted until at least Monday and the Probert family still had a drinking glass perched as a reminder in the ice-and-water dispenser on the front of the refrigerator.
“It’ll be really nice to return to city water,” said Lora Probert, partly for the convenience and partly so she, her husband and their two sons can stop kicking themselves when they slip up and brush their teeth with tap water.
There have been no mistakes at the kitchen sink, where a tall, white, 3-gallon spigoted cooler — a reminder of Brad Probert’s passion for self-made beer — has sat like a sentinel on the edge of the sink, dispensing water boiled effortlessly in another piece of brewing equipment.
While he turned out to be unaffected by the experience and unfazed by his slip-up, Isabella said she was leaning toward making water issues the subject of the station’s Monday morning broadcast.
The water main break had occurred Monday in a 48-inch pipe 10 feet below ground along 14 Mile between Drake and Farmington roads.
The resulting loss of water pressure can lead to bacteria in the water system, according to the Great Lakes Water Authority, and more than 300,000 people were instructed to use boiled or bottled water for such common tasks as washing fruits and vegetables, cooking and making ice.
“Your patience has been greatly appreciated.” Officials at Henry Ford Health System also offered thanks, and said all facilities impacted by the water main break will be fully operational Monday.
