On Wednesday, Jan. 12, the City of Novi made a post on Facebook, sharing that the Great Lakes Water Authority has isolated the leak that caused the drop in pressure and is working to repair it.

The leak happened as crews were working to repair a 48-inch water transmission main along 14 Mile Road back to regular service.

The first round of necessary water testing has happened, and now officials are waiting for the test results.

If the result comes back negative, then a second round of testing will occur.

City officials expect the boil water advisory to be lifted late Thursday or early Friday.
