The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), the region’s water supplier, has advised the City of Livonia that all water test samples indicated no bacterial contamination of the water system resulting from the power loss at their pumping station. Therefore, residents may use water as normal.
While there was never any evidence of contamination of the water supply, the City of Livonia exercised extreme caution as a result of this event by issuing a boil water advisory. We apologize for all of the inconveniences this situation has caused. However, the safety of our citizens and the water supply was our highest priority.
Due to a DTE power issue on Saturday evening, a single water-pumping station lost power and caused a loss of water pressure. Water pressure was maintained throughout most of the city, but a boil water alert was issued as a precaution.
Officials had previously hoped to resolve the problem in Livonia by Tuesday.
Farmington Hills boil water notice ends
A precautionary boil water notice issued Saturday for parts of Farmington Hills also has ended.
The notice was issued after a power failure at the Great Lakes Water Authority booster station. This caused a drop in pressure in the water supply which may have caused bacterial contamination.
It affected the area from 8 Mile Road to 9 Mile Road between Haggerty and Drake roads in Farmington Hills.
