WATER MAIN PROJECT EMERGENCY SHUT-OFF

Due to the age of the water main system and the components that are being replaced, occasionally the water main may have to be shut down. Every attempt is being made to maintain an established schedule, of which you will be notified by the placement of a door hanger. Due to the deterioration of the system, emergency measures may need to be taken involving a larger area than scheduled. For after hours emergencies, please call 734 260-8271. We appreciate your patience during this construction project and welcome any comments or questions you may have.
