Boil water advisory affects 935,000 residents in metro Detroit area

A boil water water advisory was issued Saturday in 23 Detroit metro-area communities, affecting 935,000 residents, after a water important break was found.

The Nice Lakes Water Authority discovered the break on a 120-inch water transmission important that distributes consuming water to 23 communities throughout Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties, the Detroit Free Press reported.

The GLWA gives consuming water to just about 40% of Michigan’s inhabitants.

Crews recognized the leak to be one mile west of GLWA’s Lake Huron Water Therapy Facility.

As soon as the leak is remoted, crews will set up emergency connections to different system mains and restore some water to the affected communities.

Authorities are still looking for the cause of the water main break.
