Whitmer demands answers from Enbridge on pipeline damageBut state attorneys said both should be turned off until an independent review is conducted. Gretchen Whitmer said Enbridge restarted the west leg of Line 5 without sharing enough information about the incident. She called it a brazen disregard for the people of Michigan and the safety of the Great Lakes. Enbridge understands the importance of the Great Lakes to the State and the need to protect the Straits, the environment and people. The east leg pipeline remains shut down, while the west leg was restarted after a thorough review and consultation with our safety regulator.
