A Message from our City Manager:

Fire Millage Approved by Voters
THANK YOU to the Auburn Hills Community

Asking for a tax increase is not something we take lightly. We are very serious about the way in which we utilize the dollars that our residents and businesses provide to us through their taxes. That is why we are grateful and appreciative that voters have entrusted us with additional funds to operate the fire department by approving the two ballot proposals on August 4. This year was the first year that the existing fire department millage did not cover its expenses. And the deficit caused by this shortfall was only going to grow year after year, a serious issue that had to be addressed. By approving the millage increase, the city administration and City Council will fulfill its promises to you to work diligently toward improving response times, to rely less on our neighbors to answer our calls for service, to add an additional three Paramedics, to place into service an additional ambulance, invest in equipment purchases and upgrades, and eliminate the fire department deficit. Yes, this will all be done with the passage of the new millage. You have our word.

UPDATE: All water restrictions have been lifted effective 8:00 AM, July, 17, 2026. Thank you to everyone in our community who conserved water for the 24-hour period the restrictions were in place.

July 16: Effective immediately, the City of Auburn Hills Department of Public Works (DPW) is issuing a MANDATORY water restriction for the entire City of Auburn Hills.

RESIDENTS AND WATER USERS SHALL CEASE WATER USAGE FOR NON-NECESSARY ACTIVITIES such as watering lawns, washing vehicles, filling outdoor pools, or other recreational water activities.

The City of Auburn Hills DPW is taking this precaution because of a GLWA system pump station power outage, which has caused lower pressures to the area.

The water system is in an emergency operational state at the moment, so the above actions will help keep water available for all customers in the area, and adjacent Cities and Townships. You may witness or experience less than normal water pressure in all areas.

Failure to comply with this mandate may result in fines and/or TERMINATION of water service. Sec. 74-210.a(2) of the Auburn Hills code of ordinances governs this action.

The City of Auburn Hills DPW will continue to monitor the water system, but this restriction will remain in effect until further notice. The City will advise when the proper conditions have been met and the restriction will be lifted.

If there are any questions regarding this matter, you may contact The City of Auburn Hills DPW at (248) 391-3777.
