Water Main Break Update 10:30 am
At 4:30 am, GLWA experienced a break in a 48-inch transmission main at 14 Mile Road and Verona (between Drake and Farmington Roads) in Farmington Hills. This break has caused much of Novi to lose water pressure.
Our Novi team met just a short while ago with GLWA. Crews are working to isolate the break in Farmington Hills and pressurize an alternate water delivery system.
Important Reminder: When water service is restored, please know a BOIL WATER ADVISORY is in effect until further notice for all impacted areas (Peach shaded area on the map, unless you are on a well).
Drinkable water is available at the Department of Public Works (26300 Lee BeGole Drive) - Please bring your own containers.
We are meeting again later this afternoon with GLWA and will continue to share updates as soon as we have them.
UPDATE (6:55a): The water main break is confirmed at 14 Mile and Drake in Farmington Hills. GLWA will be working to isolate the break and restore service.
UPDATE (6:05a): GLWA is investigating a possible water main break at 14 Mile and Drake.
UPDATE (5:45a): Early this morning, water pressure alarms alerted our team of a pressure loss from the Great Lakes Water Authority transmission lines. Much of Novi is without water. GLWA has been contacted and is working to determine the cause. Please see the map for impacted areas.
Once service is restored, all affected areas will be under a Boil Water Advisory.
We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available.
