Auburn Hills water main break could leave some Oakland County residents without water for 2 weeks

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A water main break early Sunday in Auburn Hills is impacting residents of several surrounding communities, according to the Great Lakes Water Authority. According to GLWA, the break occurred on a 42-inch main in River Woods Park around 1:30 a.m. GLWA said valves, which were identified in neighboring townships when the main first began leaking last week, were closed for crews to work on the main. Residents in Orion Township, Lake Orion, Rochester Hills, and Auburn Hills are asked to restrict their water usage to only essentials, including hydration, food preparation, and basic sanitation. Residents should not run dishwashers, washing machines, or water their lawn.
