Published
Sue McCormick, the head of the Great Lakes Water Authority, has stepped down.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The head of the Great Lakes Water Authority resigned Tuesday.
Sue McCormick s departure comes after recent flooding in Metro Detroit. I think it s very appropriate that Sue McCormick offered her resignation, said Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller.
Miller was critical of the water authority after June s flooding that closed freeways and filled basements with water.

The Great Lakes Water Authority board on Wednesday unanimously accepted CEO Sue McCormick s resignation before reviewing a new timeline of the electrical problems hampering the authority during last month s massive rainfall and subsequent flooding.
McCormick said her employees believed that the one of the system s pumping stations known as Freud which was partially operational despite an electrical outage could still handle the anticipated storm because rainfall predications were between 1.5 to 3 inches.
But those predictions were wrong.
In some areas
, more than 7 inches fell the night of June 25 and into June 26, overwhelming the GLWA system and flooding residents homes
, primarily in Detroit, Dearborn and the Grosse Pointes.
