A precautionary boil water advisory has been lifted for Livingston Community Water Authority (LCWA) system customers in Hamburg Township, Brighton Township and Green Oak Township. 

According to the LCWA, damage from lightning strikes on Thursday caused the water level in the tower to lower and pressure to drop to less than 20 psi — prompting the authority to issue a boil water advisory.

In an email Saturday, LCWA says repairs and testing have been completed and it is now safe to drink water from taps.

"The July 21, 2023 “PRECAUTIONARY BOIL WATER NOTICE" is hereby rescinded following all repairs of a water system causing the low pressure as the result of Thursday’s storms and the satisfactory completion of the Bacteriological Survey showing that the water is safe to drink," LCWA said Saturday.
