THURSDAY, JUNE 20 UPDATE: The City of Livonia’s boil water alert remains in effect for much of the city (see map for areas included). To see a larger version of this map, visit Livonia.gov.

This boil water requirement shall remain in effect until results from water sampling by the Great Lakes Water Authority verify that the water is safe to drink. The process requires a minimum of 48 hours; therefore, the earliest we could remove the boil water alert would be after noon on Friday, June 21.

As soon as we receive approval to lift the boil water alert, notifications will also go out through local television networks, print media, radio stations, the City website, the Livonia Community Facebook page, e-mail, and Code Red text alerts. Until that time, please continue to boil your water or use bottled water.

AS A REMINDER: Those living in the area in red on the map cannot consume their tap water and should continue to boil water or use bottled water. Water must be brought to a boil for at least one minute and then cooled before use. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice. 

If you have any question about your address based on the map, please continue to boil water or use bottled water. 

A mechanical malfunction in a pressure-reducing valve resulted in the low pressure situation on Wednesday, June 19. A contractor has been contacted. This is not an issue with the Great Lakes Water Authority supplied water. 

There are no restrictions on showering and washing clothes. 

The Kirksey Recreation Center, Livonia Libraries and the Senior Center remain open, as scheduled.
