Officials said a temporary drop in water pressure could have caused a potential bacterial contamination in the water system.
The boil water advisory is for the area south of McNichols to the Detroit River and east of Linwood to Conner.
Bacteria are generally not harmful and are common throughout the environment. Corrective measures are being undertaken to correct the situation.
