GRANT, Mich. — Community members were advised to conserve water for several hours Friday morning following an electrical problem in Grant.

Newaygo County Emergency Services says the problem arose at the city’s well house, precluding the city from pumping water.

We’re told the water supply inside the water tower is limited to maintain a certain amount of pressure in the system.

Residents were asked not to wash clothes or dishes and to refrain from showering or bathing.

City Manager Kasey Jernberg informed FOX 17 that the water was safe for normal use at around 11 a.m.

Jernberg adds boiling water is not necessary as the water pressure was upheld during the emergency declaration.
