Boil Advisory Lifted for Rochester Hills and Oakland Township
(City of Rochester Hills, May 8, 2026)
Rochester Hills, MI – A Boil Water Advisory that went into effect on Wednesday, May 6, for an area in the northwest portion of Rochester Hills and southwest Oakland Township has been lifted.
Recent testing confirms the public water supply is clear of bacterial contamination and fully meets all EPA Drinking Water Standards.
The Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA) is experiencing a leak on its 42-inch water transmission main located within River Woods Park in the City of Auburn Hills. The leak caused a pressure drop in the Rochester Hills water system resulting in the Boil Water Advisory.
While the leak is under control, residents in Rochester Hills and Oakland Township will likely see water pressure fluctuations during the repair process. If there is another extreme drop in pressure, another Boil Water Advisory would likely need to be issued.
GLWA is currently preparing for the repairs, but a timeline has not yet been established.
For further information, or if you have any questions or concerns, visit glwater.org or email info@glwater.org. We appreciate the understanding of our residents and businesses over these last two days.
