Full Notification

City of Northville … The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) will make a valve repair on Wednesday, Feb. 21, at 11:30 p.m. on a main line that feeds into the City of Northville’s water system. A boil water advisory will be in effect for the entire City of Northville at 11:30 p.m. for at least 48 hours.

Northville Township residents and businesses are not affected.

Repairs will take at least two hours. During repairs, customers may experience a reduction or loss of water pressure. The City will test the water quality and notify residents and businesses when the boil water advisory is lifted.

Prior to 11:30 p.m., residents and businesses do not need to boil the water and are advised to fill containers with water to use during the advisory. After 11:30 p.m., residents and businesses must boil water from the tap before drinking it or cooking with it. This requires that all water be boiled for one minute at a rolling boil, and cooled before using.

People with compromised immune systems, infants and some elderly are at increased risk for health issues during this time. Pets should be given reserved water or boiled water to drink as well.

Showers and bathing can be done during the advisory as long as people do not drink water during these activities.

For more information, look at the City’s website, Facebook and twitter accounts. If City of Northville residents or business owners have questions, please contact City of Northville at 248-349-1300 during office hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. After hours, there will be a special recorded line at that same number with any important updates.
