Water distribution sites busy in Oakland County
There are several water distribution sites across the effected areas in Oakland County near where a large water main broke. GLWA CEO Susan Coffey said the main that broke was installed in 1975 and had a 100-year lifespan, so it isn't clear why it broke. Crews will know more once they dig down to the pipe. According to GLWA, there is not a firm estimate of when water service will be restored, but those in the affected areas should be prepared to be out of water for a minimum of 14 days. Coffey said during an update at 10 a.m. Sunday that GLWA was working to move water around the system in hopes of bringing water pressure back to the area.
