Macomb County’s utilities infrastructure is relied upon by thousands of energy-intensive advanced manufacturing operations.

Electricity

Water & Sewer

Municipal water and sewer systems serve most of the urbanized areas of southern Macomb. Local water utilities are supplied by the Detroit Water and Sewer Departments, the country’s third largest water and sewer utility.
