THREE INSTEAD OF TWO TO GET IT FIXED, TOPPING OUR NEWS AT FIVE NEW INSPECTIONS FOUND DAMAGE IN
THE PIPE, MEANING MORE OF THAT
120 INCH MAIN NEEDS TO BE
MANUFACTURED AND TRUCKED IN. SO
LET’S TAKE YOU THROUGH THE
LATEST HERE. THE WATER AUTHORITY
NOW SAYS ITS GOAL IS TO HAVE THE
LINE FULLY REPAIRED BY SEPTEMBER
3RD. TODAY AT THE SITE, CREWS
BEGAN REMOVING THE BROKEN PIPE
THAT WAS INSTALLED BACK IN 1973
. THAT MEANS 130,000. PEOPLE IN
THESE SEVEN COMMUNITIES ARE
GOING TO NEED TO BOIL THEIR
WATER FOR THE NEXT 18 DAYS. ROD
MELONI LIVE IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP,
WHERE RESIDENTS LINED UP FOR
WATER, NOT THE NEWS. ANYONE
WANTED TO HEAR TODAY, ROD. YEP
PEOPLE WE TALKED TO YOU DIDN’T
HADN’T HEARD THAT WHEN WE WERE
TALKING TO THEM IN LINE. TAKE A
LOOK BEHIND ME. YOU CAN SEE THE
PALLETS, AND THOSE ARE THE EMPTY
PALLETS FROM THE WATER THAT WAS
DISTRIBUTED THIS AFTERNOON.
WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU SOME
VIDEO NOW BECAUSE THERE AREN’T
MANY CARS OUT HERE BECAUSE THE
WATER WAS ALL SCARFED UP PRETTY
QUICKLY. BUT THIS IS WHAT THE
PARKING LOT LOOKED LIKE PEOPLE
IN THE PARKING LOT OUT DOWN THE
STREET AND OUT ONTO THE MAIN
ROAD HERE ON 21 MILE TO TRY AND
THE WATER. AND THIS IS ONE OF
THREE DIFFERENT SPOTS JUST IN
SHELBY TOWNSHIP ALONE, AND THAT
WATER IS IN HIGH DEMAND. WATER
OF COURSE, IS THAT BASIC
COMMODITY GO WITHOUT IT AND YOUR
QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES ON A
DIME. OKAY JUST ASK MENTAL
BOWDEN, SHELBY TOWNSHIP THE WAY
WE BRUSH OUR TEETH THE WAY WE
WASH OUR HANDS, UM SHOWERS ARE,
LIKE, TWO MINUTES AND OUT. SO
YEAH. WHOLE LOT HAS CHANGED. MY
WIFE AND I WE TAKE NOTIFICATION
THAT WE NEED WATER, KOZLOWSKI
SAYS THIS ALL NEEDS TO WRAP UP
QUICKLY. CAN’T DO YOU CAN’T WASH
DISHES TOO MUCH. PAPER PLATES.
YOU KILLED WARD AND THAT THEIR
DENISE’S STEPPER ASKED FOR MORE
THAN HER ALLOTMENT OF ONE CASE
IN ORDER TO HELP A CANCER
STRICKEN NEIGHBOR UNDERGOING
CHEMO. I CALLED YESTERDAY SHE
WASN’T ANSWERING THE PHONE, SO I
JUST ASSUMED SHE WAS GOING IN
BED. AND SO THAT’S WHY I ASKED
WATER DISAPPEARED AS QUICKLY AS
IT ARRIVED. BUT THAT’S NOT THE
CASE WITH THE WATER MAIN BREAK
ITSELF. GREAT LAKES WATER
AUTHORITY SENT US CLOSE UP
STILLS OF THE REPAIR OPERATION
THAT CAME WITH THE FRUSTRATING
NEWS THAT THIS IS VERY FAR FROM
OVER. SUE COFFEE IS WAS CEO. THE
INSPECTION FOUND MORE DAMAGE TO
THE PIPE THAN WE INITIALLY
THOUGHT, WHICH WILL REQUIRE THE
ACQUISITION OF ADDITIONAL PIPE,
WHICH MEANS THERE’S NO RELIEF IN
SIGHT UNTIL LABOR DAY WEEKEND.
WE HAVE TO WAIT 2 TO 3 WEEKS,
FOUR WEEKS. IT’S NOT GOOD. YOU
KNOW, WE JUST WANTED TO GET IT
OVER WITH. DEALING WITH IT, AND
THAT’S HOW WE GOT TO DO JUST
DEAL WITH IT ON DAILY BASIS.
WELL THE HOPE IS THAT THEY CAN
GET AT LEAST SOME WATER PRESSURE
GOING HERE BEFORE TOO LONG.
MAYBE BEFORE SEPTEMBER 3RD, BUT
HERE’S THE DEAL THEY HAD
PURCHASED ALL OF THE PIPE
AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES
THAT COULD BE USED FOR THIS
PROJECT. 120 INCH PIPE. YOU
CAN’T JUST GO AND PICK IT OUT ON
THE ON THE LOWS SHELF AS IT
WERE. SO THEY CALLED DOWN TO
TEXAS. THEY’VE GOT A COMPANY
THAT MAKES THE PIPE WORKING ON
IT RIGHT NOW. THEY BELIEVE THAT
THEY WILL HAVE A DELIVERY BY
NEXT TUESDAY. WHICH IS WHAT
GIVES THEM THE CONFIDENCE THAT
THEY THINK THEY CAN GET THIS
DONE BY LABOR DAY WEEKEND BACK
TO YOU. LET’S HOPE SO. RIDE
THOUGH. DID THE WATER AUTHORITY
HAVE ANY IDEA THAT THIS COULD OR
WOULD HAPPEN? NO THEY SAID FLAT
OUT. IT WAS A SURPRISE. FAIRLY
NEW PIPE PROBABLY SHOULD NOT
HAVE HAPPENED THERE TRYING TO
FIGURE THAT OUT, BUT WE’RE GOING
TO START ASKING SOME TOUGH
QUESTIONS ABOUT INSPECTIONS AND
HOW THAT ALL WORKS AND WHY THIS
WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN WITH
NOBODY EVEN NOTICES, SO WE’LL
HAVE THAT COMING UP ON LOCAL 4
NEWS AT SIX WILL BE LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT, ROD. THANK YOU.
OUR TOP STORY HERE AT FIVE.
WE’VE LEARNED THE MAN CHARGED
WITH SETTING FIRE TO AN EAST
POINT APARTMENT COMPLEX. IS A

THE DEPARTMENT. 31 YEAR OLD
BRIAN HARVEY FACES ONE COUNT OF
FIRST DEGREE ARSON FOR THE FIRE
THIS WEEKEND AT 10 MILE AND
DODGE STREET. SHAWN LEY HAS MORE
I AM HEARTBREAKING. I AM SAD.
I’M UNCOMFORTABLE. I WANT TO GO
HOME. YOU CAN BARELY BREATHE.
THE SMOKE DAMAGE IS SO SEVERE
INSIDE THE EAST POINT APARTMENT.
GIOVANNI A RIGHT WORKED SO HARD
TO GET FOR HER AND HER DAUGHTERS
RIGHT WAS HOMELESS A YEAR AGO.
EVERYTHING SHE FOUGHT FOR,
INCLUDING HER APARTMENT IS
DESTROYED WAS ON FIRE. THE WHOLE
CEILING WAS ON FIRE FIRE IN THE
UNIT ACROSS THE HALL SUNDAY
EVENING, AND RIGHT IN HER LITTLE
GIRLS HAD TO RUN RIGHT PAST IT
TO GET OUT OF MY BABIES WENT
THROUGH THIS THEY, YOU KNOW,
TRAUMATIZED LIKE YEAH, JUST A
LOT. AS THE APARTMENT’S WINDOWS
WERE EXPLODING FROM THE HEAT,
THE MAIN RENTING THE APARTMENT
THAT WAS BURNING WAS SEEN PACING
IN THE PARKING LOT, NOT ALERTING
GIOVANNI, A AND HER GIRLS THAT
THE BUILDING WAS ON FIRE COULD
HAVE BEEN KILLED. BECAUSE WHAT
IF WE WERE ASLEEP? BUT IF IT
HAPPENED TONIGHT, EVERYONE SLEEP
POINT. POLICE SAY IT’S A CASE OF
ARSON, THAT NEIGHBOR PACING IN
THE PARKING LOT. 31 YEAR OLD
BRIAN AUSTIN HARVEY. HE IS

. DETROIT FIRE DEPARTMENT
CONFIRMS TONIGHT THAT HARVEY HAS
BEEN AN E M T WITH THE

HE WAS PUT ON LEAVE BACK IN
FEBRUARY. I’M GRATEFUL THAT ME

AND THAT YOU KNOW WE’RE SAFE AND
THAT NOBODY ELSE IN THE BUILDING
WAS HARMED. THE BEST THAT WAS
OUR SHAWN LEY REPORTING. ONE MAN
IS DEAD AFTER A POLICE CHASE
THAT ENDED IN A CRASH WITH A
SEMI IN DETROIT. THE CHASE
STARTED AROUND SEVEN THIS
MORNING IN THE AREA OF CHALMERS
AND WILFRED ON THE CITY’S EAST
SIDE. THEY SPOTTED THE MAN IN A
STOLEN CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP
HIM. AFTER A SHORT CHASE
OFFICERS STOPPED PURSUIT. THEY
LATER FOUND THE CAR CAUGHT UNDER
THE SEMI. THE MAN IN HIS
TWENTIES, DIED AT THE SCENE. NOW
TO THE WEATHER ALL CLEAR RIGHT

UMBRELLA? YES SO WE’VE GOT A FEW
SPOTTY SHOWERS OUT THERE MOVING

THINGS LIKE THAT RIGHT NOW IN
UTICA OR TROY. I JUST WANT TO BE
MINDFUL, BUT WE’RE LOSING OUR
DAYTIME HEATING, SO WE DON’T
EXPECT MUCH AT ALL HERE IN THE
WAY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
ONCE THAT SUN SETS ABOUT EIGHT
O’CLOCK TONIGHT. SO FOR THE REST
OF THIS EVENING, THOSE ISOLATED
SHOWERS COME TO AN END
TEMPERATURES DROPPING DOWN INTO
THE UPPER SIXTIES BY MIDNIGHT.

SECRETLY RECORDED CONVERSATIONS
WITH THAT GROUP, AND THAT GROUP
INCLUDED THE TWO DEFENDANTS ADAM
FOX AND BARRY CROFT. THE TWO MEN
ON TRIAL FOR A SECOND TIME NOW
ON CONSPIRACY CHARGES, AND
MEANWHILE, GOVERNOR WHITMER WILL
NOT HAVE TO TESTIFY TOMORROW IN

OF RACES THAT I COULD TEST
