Bacteria are generally not harmful and are common throughout our environment.<\/p>\n<p>What should I do?<\/p>\n<p>DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oriontownship.org\/departments\/township_supervisor\/human_resources.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-167678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Lifeguards-OC-Times.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"862\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>What is being done?<\/p>\n<p>Bacteriological samples will be collected to determine that the water quality meets the state drinking water standards. We will inform you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water.<\/p>\n<p>This boil water notice shall remain in effect until results from the sampling verify the water is safe to drink. Customers will be advised when the boil water advisory has been lifted.<\/p>\n<p>Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-168401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Boil-Water-Advisory-Map-of-impacted-areas.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"784\" height=\"682\"  \/><a href=\"https:\/\/whittielawcenter.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-132737 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dennis-whittie-law-firm-ad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-160411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Event-Page_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/orionontv.org\/events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-157925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/ontv-ad.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/sponsorshipadvertising\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-154180 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Advertise-Here-Oakland-County-Times_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/northoaklandchambers.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-156889 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/North-Oakland-Chamber-Ad_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"864\" height=\"216\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/2026\/05\/06\/boil-water-advisory-issued-for-parts-of-rochester-hills-and-oakland-township\/?print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\"\/>Save this post to PDF<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandcounty115.com\/2026\/05\/06\/boil-water-advisory-issued-for-parts-of-rochester-hills-and-oakland-township\/?print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\"\/>Print this post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Boil Water Advisory Issued for Parts of Rochester Hills and Oakland Township (City of Rochester Hills, May 6,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-302825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
