The boil water advisory in Livonia has been lifted after tests showed no signs of contamination in the city’s drinking water.
That failure started a chain reaction of issues, including several water main breaks across southern Livonia and depressurized the system.
A lack of pressure could have produced favorable conditions for unwanted bacteria to develop.
The City of Livonia said in a news release its declaration of a boil water advisory was done out of caution in case contamination was found in the system.
