Burton residents may see water issues due to pipe repair

By On Mar 28, 2021

BURTON, Mich. (WYRT) – Some residents on the east side of Burton may experience water pressure fluctuations on Monday as pipe repair continues.

The Genesee County’s Office of Sewage Commissioner began repairing the water main Monday morning at the intersection of Genesee Road and Lippincott Boulevard. According to official data, water pressure in the area can rise and fall over the next 12 to 18 hours.

An area along Genesee and Center Streets between Lippincott Boulevard and Bristol Road is most likely to have changes in water pressure.

The drainage commissioner’s water and waste department office did not say why the emergency repair was necessary or how the problem will be resolved. A notice about boiling water was not announced, so the water should remain potable for all concerned.

According to official sources, residents may have noticed discolored water tonight when crews reactivated the repaired aqueduct. Anyone with discolored water should let it run for a few minutes before using it.

Anyone with questions or concerns about the project should call the Drainage Officer office at 810-732-7870 or the after-hours emergency number at 810-762-3626.
