The boil water advisories in Rochester Hills and Oakland Township have been lifted.
Bloomfield Twp. and Keego Harbor are expected to lift their restrictions.
This, due to the repairs for a major water main break on Monday which has caused a disruption of water service in mid and western Oakland County.
The water authority recommends these actions for residents before resuming water use out of the tap:
1. Flush water
Unscrew and remove the faucet aerator (screen).
Turn on each cold water faucet/tap slowly.
Run cold water for five minutes.
Clean and reinstall aerator.
2. Clear hot water tanks/heaters
Run hot water only at all faucets and flush until water runs cool or typically for a minimum of:
15 minutes for a typical household 40 gallon hot water tank.
30 minutes for a hot water tank greater than 40 gallons.
Hot water is then safe to use for washing of dishes, pots and pans, etc. by hand.
3. Replace filters
Water filters, such as ones used in refrigerators, faucets, pitchers and under the sink, are not designed to remove the specific bacteria potentially present during a boil water advisory. If you ran water through your filter during the boil water advisory, the filter could be contaminated.
Remove and discard water filters.
Replace with a new filter following flushing.
