Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update
The DPW would like to share a few bullet points of current procedures to ensure safe drinking water.
The Waterford Township DPW is open and operating. Customers are encouraged to mail or utilize the drop box near the main DPW entrance for water bill payments. When paying your Water & Sewer bill, please utilize the envelope provided with your water-sewer bill in the U.S. Mail. Auto-Debit or On-Line payments are much preferred right now.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to find ways to maintain operations while protecting the safety, health and welfare of our community.
Waterford Township DPW would remind all residents, ONLY flush the 3 P’s. (Pee, Poo & (toilet) Paper).

Waterford Township DPW will also be collaboratively working with MiWARN, a statewide Water/Wastewater Agency Response Network (WARN) of “members helping members”. MIWARN provides utilities and public works agencies with a Mutual Aid Agreement for sharing resources in an emergency.
As a reminder, Waterford Township has a robust and resilient drinking water / wastewater system. This system includes dedicated professional personnel, back-up generator power, advanced security and available full manual operations if necessary.
