Detroit City Council approves historic regional water authority

[Willi]

Perhaps some will remember :

The Detroit City Council approved the transfer of
the Oakland-Macomb Interceptor [[OMI)
in the Oakland-Macomb County Drainage District.
The vote was 5-2 in favor of the transfer,
which is part of a larger settlement reached between
DWSD and its suburban customers.

The OMI requires approximately $125 million in
emergency repairs, according to DWSD Interim Director,
Pamela Turner, although other estimates
have put the price tag as high as $160 million.

Some ""may"" notice 95% of it; is in MACOMB county;
but its actually for poor old oakland county so it
doesn't bury itself in poop and rainwater,
hence the name [[ OMI ) aka the ohhh my drain
