The backstory on this is interesting. This same sewer failed near this location. The repair costs were measured in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Macomb County water bills get an extra surcharge, instead of everyone in the region chipping in, because Macomb did not do the proper video inspections of the pipe. Looks like they did not learn a thing.
Several miles west in Sterling Heights.

Who in the region are you referring to? This was a Macomb County problem, not Oakland, not Wayne, not Lapeer and not St. Clair.
because Macomb did not do the proper video inspections of the pipe. Looks like they did not learn a thing.
With the exception of the homes that were destroyed, which is truly unfortunate, if they had done the proper inspections and found the problems which have been lying dormant for years, that entire stretch of highway would have had to been dug up and reinforced at a cost of what? More than the hundreds of millions that you quoted above.............
