Executive Order 2020-28 requires the reconnection of public water supply services to residences that have had water service shut off. The order requires public water suppliers to immediately identify residences in their service area that do not currently have water service and to make best efforts to restore service to homes where the service has been disconnected due to non-payment or damaged infrastructure. The order also includes reporting and accountability requirements. Read more here.
Important Message to Water Customers
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order No. 2020-28 requires water suppliers to restore service to any occupied residence where water service has been shut off due to non-payment, as long as re-connection would not create a public health risk.

Water System Flushing April 15 and 16 in Highland Township
The Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner's Operations and Maintenance Division completes water system flushing each spring and fall for untreated and as determined for iron-removed well water supply systems that we operate and maintain. Flushing consists of opening fire hydrants at the ends of roads and courts. This allows a high volume of water to scour the water mains and remove settled iron particles from the system. System evaluation is completed during the flushing procedure.
Note: Large systems take more than one night to flush. Discoloration can occur on any of the dates we flush the system. Visit our Customer Materials page for more information about water system flushing.
