Livonia residents advised to boil tap water before using.
LIVONIA, MI – A boil-water advisory remains in effect in the city of Livonia and some neighboring communities.
"Water pressure was maintained throughout most of the city and no contamination is known to be present in the water system," according to the alert issued at 3:39 p.m. Sunday.
Until the advisory has been lifted, the city advises residents not to drink their tap water without boiling it first.
"Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water."
According to the city, water samples from locations throughout the community are being tested to confirm that no bacterial contamination is present.
As a further precaution, sampling will be repeated a second time 24 hours later, which is why a boil water advisory is expected to remain in effect until Tuesday, June 13.
Updates are expected to be communicated through social media and the city website.
Livonia residents and businesses are encouraged to sign up for Nixle emergency alerts.

HENDERSON, N.C. (WNCN) — A boil water advisory will be in place until at least Wednesday morning for Oxford, Henderson and Franklin County, officials said.
On Monday afternoon, the Kerr Lake Plant went down, with Henderson officials adding the pumps were the source of the problem.
Water supplies are back up which has eased calls for conservation restrictions but the boil advisories remain in effect until likely Wednesday morning.
Some Granville County Schools have been impacted by the boil advisory.
Schools will follow their regularly-scheduled school days, but because of the advisory, bottled water and hand sanitizer will be made available to all students and staff, and packed breakfasts and lunches will be served as well.
Vance County Schools said that several schools in the county are on City of Henderson water and that maintenance and cafeteria staff have taken precautions to ensure that they’re only using bottled water.
That’s a big problem when it comes to the restaurant business.
So, I’ll be glad when that comes back into play and we can use running water,” said Marcus Wright, owner and general manager of the Golden Skillet in Henderson.
The Kerr Lake Regional Water System is a public water system serving portions of Vance, Granville, Warren and Franklin counties.

Boil water advisory lifted in Libanernon after floods
Boil water advisory lifted in Vernon after floods.
Authorities in Greater Vernon have revoked the boil water notice after testing one of the region’s water sources.
Greater Vernon Water and Interior Health said that residents in the City of Vernon, District of Coldstream, Spallumcheen, as well as Electoral Areas B, C and parts of D can drink their tap water.
Authorities tested the water from Duteau Creek which showed that the water supply has returned to a "good" rating.
But the region’s second water source, Kamalka Lake, remains turbid and will be switched off until conditions improve.
The boil water advisory was initially issued after several days of heavy flooding affected the region, causing water quality to degrade to a "poor" rating.
That meant residents had to exercise caution using tap water for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or for brushing teeth.
Staff in the Regional District of North Okanagan say they will continue to monitor water quality and work with Interior Health.
