Pipe, equipment woes lead to boil-water advisory in Livonia

Pipe, equipment woes lead to boil-water advisory in Livonia
Posted

Residents in one of Detroit's largest suburbs have been told to boil their water for the next few days before they drink it.

Livonia has been hit with a variety of pipe and equipment failures. After 48 hours, the water will be tested to check for bacteria.

Assistant public works director Brian Wilson says the boil advisory is a precaution.

Livonia schools are closed Friday as a result of the water woes.

The city has a population of 94,000 people.
