Water service has been interrupted on South Cass Lake Road between Port Cove Drive and Beachland Boulevard to repair the water main. Crews are working on site now to repair this issue. Thank you for your patience while we address the issue and restore water service.

If you have any questions, please contact the DPW at 248-674-2278.

Current Drinking Water Notifications | Drinking Water

Current Drinking Water Notifications | Drinking Water All residents connected to the community water supply in the affected area should boil their water. If you have a private well you do not need to boil your water.  

Due to current phone service interruptions, DTE Energy is asking that customers report outages, check their status and report downed wires at outage.dteenergy.com.
A few things to remember:
• Downed power lines may be hidden by debris, so be careful as you head outside.
• Stay at least a bus length (20 feet) away from downed power lines and don’t touch anything they may be in contact with – always consider them live and dangerous.
• Yellow caution tape indicates there is a downed power line in the area. DO NOT CROSS YELLOW CAUTION TAPE.
• Never use a portable generator inside a home or business. It emits carbon monoxide, which can be deadly. Keep it outside, away from windows and doors, so the fumes won’t come in

Small progress is still progress, so don't give up!

CDC's 4 new campaigns address ways to prevent and reduce drug overdose deaths.

During Overdose Awareness Week, we remember the lives lost to overdose and the pain of their loved ones. We raise awareness of substance use disorder to prevent deaths, promote treatment, and celebrate recovery.

Let's all take a moment to reflect on at least one positive thing that has happened this week! We can't wait to read them all 👀😬
