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.

For more information and updates on the Boil Water Advisory, residents are directed to visit Oakland County’s webpage at https://www.oakgov.com/government/water-resources-commissioner/drinking-water/boil-water-information. Additionally, individuals with further questions or concerns are encouraged to contact the City of Troy Water Division at 248-524-3370.

The City of Troy is working diligently to address the situation and ensure the safety and well-being of its residents during this time of precautionary measures.
