Lathrup Village residents are reminded that fireworks are ONLY permitted on and around days that are National Holidays.
For the July 4th holiday, the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act allows for fireworks ONLY from June 29th to July 5th (when the 4th falls on a Friday or Saturday).
NOTE: For 2021, Sunday, July 5th, fireworks are NOT permitted.
Our local ordinance also requires that these fireworks are NOT to be ignited, discharged, or used AFTER 12 MIDNIGHT. A minor may not possess consumer fireworks. Fireworks are NOT permitted on public property, including any city parks.
Everyone is reminded to please be respectful and courteous to your neighbors and only enjoy your fireworks during the permitted dates and times. Also, please be mindful that loud noises may be very frightening to children, pets, veterans, and those with PTSD.
Violators should be reported immediately to the Police Department Non-Emergency Number at 248.354.1010. Please include the address and description, if possible. A violation is a civil infraction, punishable by a fine of $1,000.
Thanks everyone for your cooperation!

INTERACTIVE MAP FOR ROAD PROJECTS! |
|
Did you know that you can look up your street on the GIS map and get updates on the road project?

There remain many questions related to the Water Service Line Verifications! To meet the state standards, water service lines must be verified at 3 distinct points – inside the house, public side of the curb stop, and the private side of the curb stop. The current area of focus is south of I-696. Residents on Lincoln, Margate, Meadowbrook Way, Meadowood, Middlesex, and Rainbow who received a letter in early May should expect work to occur in the next 2 weeks. Reminder letters were mailed this week.
|
|
Many residents have verified inside the house by using the QR code and instructions. If you haven’t already completed this step, see below for instructions. To verify the 2nd and 3rd points, the city’s contractor Sunde Building will dig out an area approximately 5’ x 3’ x 6’ to view both sides of the curb stop. Typically, this in the front yard near the sidewalk and is marked with a metal disc. Within 2 weeks of the work being complete, the city’s contractor will restore the disturbed area. We only ask that you water the new grass seed.

Water Line Material Survey |
|
IMPORTANT REMINDER!
Lathrup Village residents are being asked to help to identifying if the water service material that connects to the water meter in their home contains lead, copper, or galvanized steel.
The City has received 126 responses to the survey so far! As expected, most properties have copper lines connecting to their water meters inside of their homes. But, it is important to note that 10 homes have been identified as having lead and 4 with galvanized steel. The lead and galvanized steel water service lines will be placed on the list and scheduled for replacement of the entire water service line – at the expense of the city.
If you haven’t already participated in the survey, please take a moment to participate in this important survey. Additional information about this requirement is available at this link and in this eNewsletter.
The information submitted will be reviewed by staff and loaded onto a GIS map and database. This will make it easier for the Department of Public Service to identify the materials for each property and which may require replacement., which is required by the State of Michigan.
|
|
Or, residents can use this QR Code.
|
|
Helpful information is available through the National Public Radio (NPR) online tool that helps residents to walk through the identification process step-by-step.
