Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash said the affected area generally included those east of Haggerty Road, west of Farmington Road, north of Eight Mile Road and south of M-5. Those affected no longer need to boil water before using it for drinking or cooking.

The boil water notice was issued as a precaution after a power failure at a Great Lakes Water Authority station caused a loss of pressure, which could allow pollutants to enter the system. Officials said Wednesday that no contaminants had been detected in the water, hence the precautionary advisory.
