Rusty tap water reported
The Great Lakes Water Authority is looking into reports of reddish-brown tap water in some Grosse Pointe Woods neighborhoods.
 
It is likely the discoloration is due to area water pipes being disrupted which causes sediment to flow into customer taps. Residents who have brown water coming from their taps are advised to let it run for at least two minutes to see if it clears. Brown water should not be used for drinking or washing clothes and dishes until the cause is determined.
 
Residents will be updated when the City of Grosse Pointe Woods receives an update from The Great Lakes Water Authority
 
Trash pickup continues
Residents clearing out water-damaged basements can leave refuse at the curb regardless of their usual pickup day. Because of the tremendous quantity of trash, pickup by GFL is slowed but should be completed by the end of the week.
