DETROIT – The Blue Hill Pump Station in Detroit experienced an “external power quality issue” on Friday amid a heavy rainfall, according to the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA).
Officials said the issue has since been resolved. GLWA said it will conduct an after-event analysis and work with residents in the tributary system to determine if they experienced flooding.
“Although it was not a complete power outage, we dispatched a response team to the site. The team quickly initiated the emergency generator and worked closely with the energy partners to resume full operations of the pump station,” read a statement from GLWA Operations.
Flooding cleanup continues as officials seek answers and federal disaster aid
