It'll be at least two weeks until water service is restored near the flood in Southwest Detroit.

The Great Lakes Water Authority also says it has removed water from the site of the water main break, and crews have excavated the area.

Per a release:

Based upon current conditions, it is anticipated that an approximately 12-foot section of pipe will need to be removed, and the replacement section of pipe has been ordered. The replacement pipe is expected to be delivered on-site within the next 24-hours.

FYI, The city of Detroit has set up a hotline at 313-774-5261. That's where impacted residents can go to get set up in hotels and other temporary services.
