A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for parts of Genoa Township, Michigan, after a water main break caused a temporary loss of pressure in the local water system.
According to township officials, the advisory applies to customers in the Oak Pointe and North Shore areas. The notice was issued on January 19, 2026, following a break in the water main that reduced pressure in the distribution system. As a precaution, residents are being advised to boil tap water used for drinking and food preparation while repairs and testing are completed.
Officials said the advisory is expected to remain in effect for approximately 48 hours, or until laboratory test results confirm that the water meets required safety standards.
What residents should do
- Boil tap water for at least one minute before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or making ice
- Use boiled or bottled water for food and beverages
- Avoid swallowing tap water during the advisory period
Tap water may generally still be used for bathing, showering, and household cleaning, provided care is taken not to ingest the water.
