One resident who phoned the city before calling Local 4 News wants the situation addressed fast before flooding reaches her apartment.

“Today I called back and the girl told me she didn’t know when anybody was coming out so I’m like what constitutes a priority, an emergency,” said Detroit resident Terri Harps.

The city told Local 4 News the problem wasn’t reported until Friday. Residents are hoping the situation gets fixed before the flooding impacts their homes.
