The Great Lakes Water Authority lifted the advisory Sunday for six other Oakland County communities and the rest of Farmington Hills.
Officials say more than 300,000 people were affected by last Monday’s break in Farmington Hills.
Parts of northwest Farmington Hills is still under the advisory, probably until Monday morning, after that area lost water pressure Friday night and crews had to start a new set of water quality tests.
"The boil water advisory originally impacted just over 300,000 people in 11 Oakland County communities," a spokesperson for the Great Lakes Water Authority said in a statement Sunday.
Friday, October 27 at 11:55 a.m.: The Great Lakes Water Authority now says the boil water advisory has been lifted for Bloomfield Township and Keego Harbor.
Once the main break area was isolated, the Great Lakes Water Authority could start re-routing water and restore water pressure to some areas.
As such, the boil water advisory may not be lifted until early next week, although water pressure has been returned to most affected areas.
As of today, all the affected communities have their water pressure back, according to the Great Lakes Water Authority, except for about 35,000 people in Farmington Hills.
He says that his division, the Great Lakes Water Authority, and the Oakland Water Resources Commissioner’s Office opened an emergency operation center Monday night and have been working to get the message about the advisory out to all affected citizens and businesses.
“And we will continue to provide the best care possible.” We’re updating this story as it develops.
