⚠️ BOIL WATER ADVISORY – PORTIONS OF KALAMAZOO TOWNSHIP
The City of Kalamazoo, which provides water service to Kalamazoo Township residents, has issued a boil water advisory affecting portions of the Charter Township of Kalamazoo.
The advisory was issued following the detection of E. coli bacteria in a water sample collected September 18, 2026.
Residents in affected areas should use bottled water or bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least TWO MINUTES before using it for drinking, preparing food, brushing teeth, or other consumptive purposes.
Not all Kalamazoo Township residents are affected. Please review the City’s official notice and affected-area map to determine whether your water service is impacted.
The advisory will remain in effect until testing confirms the water is safe and the City officially lifts the advisory.
