PROCESS TO LIFT BOIL WATER ADVISORIES IN WALLED LAKE AND NOVI CONTINUES; FIRST WATER QUALITY TEST RESULTS CAME BACK CLEAR
- Boil Water Advisory remains in effect for Novi and Walled Lake
- First water quality test results came back clear today; second set of testing has been taken
- Target to lift boil water advisories remains Wednesday
DETROIT – At approximately 4:30 a.m. Saturday, March 7, 2026, the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) discovered a break on a 48-inch water transmission main on 14 Mile Road at Verona, which is between Drake and Farmington Roads in Farmington Hills.
The process for lifting boil water advisories in Novi and Walled Lake continues. Results of the first set of water quality testing have come back clear, and the second round of testing was taken earlier today with results expected Wednesday. If the second round of testing comes back clear, the boil water advisories can then be lifted on Wednesday.
The replacement of the additional 20-foot section of main near the original break site has started and will not impact the mid-week target for lifting the boil water advisories.
The Oakland County Health Division has created a helpful checklist for residents and businesses to use once Novi and Walled Lake emerge from the boil water advisories.
GLWA will share more information as it becomes available.
