Residents on Wakefield Road from Edwards Avenue to Webster Road are expected to experience service disruptions from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday.

City officials said residents might experience cloudy water during the repair and afterward.

"This is not unusual and will clear up once water flows have moderated," city officials said in a release. "Residents are encouraged to avoid washing clothes during this time as the discolored water may stain light colored fabrics. Clothing washed in brown water should be washed again using a product specifically made to remove iron which is available at most stores. Bleach will not remove the iron spots."

Anyone with questions should call DPW at 248-658-3490.
