Oakland County outlines repair plan after 42-inch water main burst

Oakland County officials outlined a rough repair timeline for a 42-inch water main burst in Auburn Hills on May 10 (first detected May 6). A repaired section was in place by about 6 p.m. May 11, with water pressure restored by 2 a.m. May 12; flushing is expected through Thursday and water testing by Sunday or Monday, with no completion date yet. Restrictions remain: the northern part of Auburn Hills is under a boil-water advisory, while the southern area and parts of Orion Township face emergency-use restrictions; Orion’s schools are closed through May 14 and car washes remain closed, while some low-water-use restaurants may operate. A restaurant-owner briefing is set for 1 p.m.

Oakland County grapples with a 42-inch water main break, triggering advisories and closures

A 42-inch transmission water main break at River Woods Park in Auburn Hills has disrupted water service to about 10,000 customers across Orion Township, Auburn Hills, and the Village of Orion. A Boil Water Advisory is in effect for parts of Auburn Hills with an emergency water-use order citywide. Three drinking water stations have been opened and Lake Orion Community Schools are closed for Monday and Tuesday. Officials warn recovery could take up to two weeks as investigators probe the 1975-era line and water towers continue to drain. Governor Whitmer is coordinating with local leaders on the response.
