4/23/13- A Howell Township sewer line that was damaged during a county pipeline upgrade will need serious repair. The sewage pressure line that was damaged is located near the intersection of Brewer and Burkhart Roads in Howell, which is now operating as a four-way stop. The incident occurred while Enbridge Energy was continuing their work to upgrade a natural gas and oil pipeline that runs through Livingston County. Enbridge has not claimed responsibility for the damage and further review is necessary to determine exactly what happened. Howell Township Supervisor Mike Coddington says a number of things could have happened in order to lead to the damage, but that it was definitely a direct result of Enbridgeâs work. The township is working with their engineering company to figure out what the options for repair are, but the solution will most likely be a new pressure line. The line is being temporarily abandoned until a decision is made. (SO)
