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.
GIS
Welcome to the City of Southfield’s Geographic Information System (GIS)
Geographic Information Systems combine layers of information concerning a particular area to give people a better understanding of that area. Different layers of information can be combined and filtered to provide different perspectives and unique views of information, data and analysis.
GIS technology integrates common database operations such as “query” and statistical analysis with the unique visualization and geographic analysis benefits presented by visual maps. These abilities make it valuable to a wide range of public and private enterprises for explaining events, predicting outcomes, and planning strategies.
The City of Southfield GIS Mission Statement
“To efficiently and effectively provide geospatial information and applications to city employees and the public in order to enhance city operations, improve decision making, and provide better public service.”
