Investigation Underway into Potential Cyberattack at Detroit Water Treatment Plant

Michigan State Police and the Great Lakes Water Authority are investigating a potential cyberattack on a monitoring system at a water treatment facility in Detroit.

The incident occurred at the Northeast Water Treatment Plant, which has not compromised water quality.

GLWA, which manages water utilities in southeast Michigan, has increased security measures and is working with law enforcement on the case.

The investigation is ongoing, and the facility can handle 300 million gallons a day.

The breach is not connected to water treatment processes, and GLWA is taking precautions to ensure the safety of the plant.

Detroit is launching a transformative $700,000 initiative to strengthen the city’s growing tech sector and drive job creation.

Announced by Mayor Mike Duggan, Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, and City Council President Mary Sheffield, the new Detroit Startup Fund will award grants to local tech startups over the next year.

Grants will include twenty $15,000 seed grants and six $50,000 scale grants, with the first round of winners revealed in late 2025.

Startups must be Detroit-based, less than ten years old, and focused on scalable offerings that benefit the city.

This initiative follows Detroit’s #1 global ranking as an emerging startup hub, bolstered by investments in sites like Newlab at Michigan Central and TechTown.

Local leaders believe this program will fuel new businesses, create jobs, and further ignite Detroit’s innovative spirit.
