Enbridge offers to buy 200 homes in Michigan
Homes were affected by July 26 oil spill
Oil company Enbridge is offering to buy 200 homes along the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. The houses all sit along a 50-kilometre stretch of the river into which oil was spilled this past July when a pipeline burst. The company is offering to buy the homes for their pre-spill value and will then put them back up for sale. All 3.1 million litres of oil has been contained with booms and two-thirds has been pumped into tanker trucks, says an Enbridge executive.
