Dearborn officials are alerting residents that the city has no relationship with a private insurance company that is contacting homeowners trying to cover the costs of emergency repairs of water service lines on private property.

Some homeowners may have received information recently in the mail from the insurance company.

The City of Dearborn does not make recommendations regarding the purchase of insurance policies. However, homeowners may be interested to know that out of the 33,000 households in Dearborn, only two to four a year are affected by water service line emergencies that require extensive repairs.

A water service line is the pipe on your property that brings fresh water into your home from the city’s water line, which is usually in the street.

The 27th Annual Festival of Quilts and Crafts will be held at First United Methodist Church on Friday, Oct. 2 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday, Oct. 3 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The church is located at 22124 Garrison at Mason.

Quilt Exhibit admission is $3.00. Lunch served daily 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. for $7.00.

The show includes a silent auction, demonstrations, crafts, and bake sale.
