Water comes from Lathrup Village water system
The Lathrup Village water system supplies Lathrup Village: about 88% of residents live in its service area. About 12% of homes are outside any mapped community water system, most likely on private wells, which EPA doesn’t regulate. It buys treated surface water (EPA lists Southeastern Oakland Co W Auth as seller) and serves 4,075 people in all.
No health-based violations reported to EPA in the five years to October 2026, like 80% of the 5,012 systems serving 3,301–10,000 people.
The latest lead result on file, the 90th percentile of homes sampled in Jan–Dec 2025, was 0.0 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that applied. The highest in five years was 5.2 ppb. Results below detection are reported as 0, so 0 doesn’t mean no lead at any tap.
