On February 19, 2025, a large water pipe burst in Southwest Detroit, USA, causing serious flooding in about 400 homes. The 54-inch pipe broke around 2 a.m., sending a huge amount of water into the streets and basements.

Because of the freezing weather, the water quickly turned to ice, trapping cars and making the area dangerous for residents. Many people were forced to leave their homes.

Mayor Mike Duggan assured residents that the city would provide hotel stays, food, and help cover damages for those without insurance.

Workers have already dug up the broken pipe, and a new section has been ordered. Repairs are expected to be completed in about two weeks.

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

My hearts are with the people of Detroit.

Yes oo, we're blessed even with natural resources, but we ain't taking advantage of it because of some devils in politics who refused to develop the country on time.
