The City of Wixom will be completing some preventative maintenance on the large water tower near I-96 between Beck and Wixom Roads. The maintenance will begin in early October and should last up to seven weeks. The tank is needed during times of high water demands (like during summer droughts when lawn watering peaks) and also allows the city to purchase water at very low costs during non-peak times from the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department.
The maintenance will require the tank to be drained and repainted both inside and out, thus the water reserve for the city of Wixom will be absent for these 6-7 weeks.
It is important for all residents and businesses in Wixom to make sure to use as little water as possible during this time. Limit non-essential water usage such as watering lawns, leaving taps or hoses running. The water tank should be back online by Thanksgiving.
