Northville Township Department of Public Works (DPW) is comprised of the Water and Sewer Department located at 16225 Beck Road.  Northville Township possesses the necessary equipment to maintain water mains, sanitary sewers, water system pump stations, sanitary sewage lift stations, fire hydrants and water meters. 

DPW distributes approximately 1 billion gallons of water every year to more than 8,968 residential and commercial connections (more than 31,000 people) via 170 miles of water main. This water is supplied from the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), which sources safe drinking water to our community from the Detroit River. The DPW operates this water main system, which carries this water to your service line.

The DPW also operates the system of sewer mains that carry your wastewater from your service line to the wastewater treatment plant. Northville Township has partnered with two other townships, Canton and Plymouth, to form the Western Townships Utilities Authority (WTUA) to manage the disposal of wastewater to the treatment plant.  

For residents with well and/or septic systems, they are maintained by the Wayne County Department of Environmental Health, located at 5454 S. Venoy in Wayne, Mich., and can be reached at (734) 727-7400.
