Residents and business might experience lower water pressure, a loss of water or discolored water from taps. The township said this boil water advisory is due to a water main break on Newport Road west of I-75. This is considered a precautionary method due to loss of pressure and potential water quality issues.

Local officials will notify the public when the advisory is lifted after repairs are made and proper testing has been completed, the township said.
