City officials in Troy, Michigan have issued a 48-hour Boil Water Advisory for specific areas following a malfunction in the Great Lakes Water Authority system. The incident, which occurred on April 10, 2024, resulted in a drop in water pressure below the recommended levels.
According to a statement released by the City of Troy, the affected areas are between Crooks and Adams/South Blvd. and Square Lake. Residents in these areas are advised to boil their water as a precautionary measure until further notice.
In clarifying the purpose of the advisory, city officials emphasized that “An advisory does not mean that the water is contaminated but that there is a chance contamination has occurred.” The advisory is in place until water testing is completed, a process that is expected to take 48 hours.
