DWSD Repairs 96-inch Water Main on Campground Road; residents are advised to boil water during the repair

The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department will repair an air valve on their 96-inch water main between 27 and 28 Mile Roads on Campground Road in Washington Township.

The repair is scheduled to start on Sunday, April 5, 2015, at 10 p.m.  The affected area extends approximately 14 miles (on a 30 mile main) and will impact the communities of Shelby Township, Washington Township and The Village of Romeo Industrial Park.

Residents in those areas will notice a decrease in water pressure. However, as a precautionary measure, DWSD recommends a boil-water advisory until the repairs are completed.  The repair should not exceed 24 hours.

Crews are working on the Easter weekend in order to minimize the impact on traffic and their customers due to spring break.  Please drive slowly and pay attention to traffic control devices in that area.

Residents can keep apprised of this and other project updates at DWSD.org or via DWSD social media.  https://www.facebook.com/DWSDDetroit or Twitter:  @Detroitwaterdep

Residents that live in the affected communities (Shelby Township, Washington Township and The Village of Romeo Industrial Park) can also check their local websites and social media.
