Boil water alert until further notice in Eastpointe.
ATTENTION RESIDENTS: The entire city of Eastpointe is under a boil water advisory until further notice after a power outage Friday night caused multiple water main breaks.
The power outage caused an issue with water pressure in the city's water system, officials said. Three power lines went out when storms moved through the area Friday, night, Eastpointe Department of Public Services Superintendent Tony Pry said.
Pry said the outage caused the pressure reducing valve to lose water pressure. A generator is up and running now but the water pressure is still too low, Pry said. Some homes and business near 10 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue have had their water shut off completely. The boil water advisory may continue for 2-3 days. The cities of St. Clair Shores and Roseville are helping restore water to Eastpointe.
