“Our families should not have to wait for support.

That is why I made it a priority to launch Rx Kids within the first 100 days of this administration. This program provides a $1,500 cash prescription during pregnancy, followed by $500 per month during a baby's first six months of life, giving families real help when it matters most.

This is about meeting families where they are and making sure every child has a strong start.” -Mayor Mary Sheffield #DreamBigRiseHigher

Freezing temperatures can lead to water main breaks and frozen pipes.
If pipes inside your home freeze or burst, call DWSD at 313-267-8000 to request a temporary water shutoff, then contact a licensed plumber.

To help prevent frozen pipes:
    •    Keep your thermostat at 55° or higher
    •    Insulate meter areas
    •    Allow faucets along exterior walls to drip during extreme cold

Report street flooding, water main breaks, or other water issues through the Improve Detroit app or by calling 313-267-8000
