Please be advised that three water main breaks have now occurred at 8 Mile & Lahser Road. Crews are currently onsite working to fix the problems. Residents in the area may experience discolored water during this time; however, it is still safe for consumption. While water does not need to be boiled since it is not contaminated, residents may still opt to do so as a precaution. Lahser Road just north of 8 Mile Road is closed to northbound traffic due to the water main break. Southbound Lahser Road remains open to traffic in the work zone area. Motorists should expect the northbound section of Lahser Road to remain closed until mid next week. Water main repairs are expected to be completed by today (1/17/20); however, new concrete on northbound Lahser will not be cured and open to traffic until approximately Wednesday, January 22 . More information will be forthcoming as it is available. In the interim, please call the Water Dept at (248) 796-4850 with any additional questions.
