Protecting Our Drinking Water
Did you know that YOU could pollute your own drinking water without realizing it?

Elimination of cross connections is an important step in protecting the water that we drink.

Conserve Water
The Township purchases water from Southeast Oakland County Water Authority (SOCWA) instead of directly from Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD). Lowering the Township’s maximum daily and peak water demands may result in lowering the rate charged by SOCWA. Reducing water usage during peak demand periods will provide better reliability of the system’s operating pressures for fire prevention.
