DETROIT (FOX 2) - The head of the Great Lakes Water Authority resigned Tuesday.

The head of Great Lakes Water Authority has resigned weeks after thousands of homes were damaged by sewage backups during a tremendous storm.
CEO Sue McCormick didn t cite the June 25-26 flooding as the reason for her departure, though the controversy clearly has tarnished the Southeast Michigan water agency. She said she had been contemplating retirement. While I am extremely proud of all the GLWA team has accomplished in its first five years, I also recognize that now is the time for me to make my future intentions public as we all move forward, McCormick said.
The agency said Wednesday after a meeting of its governing board that the board would be the process of appointing an interim chief executive, as well as conducting a national search for the utility s next CEO.
