A water main in a southwest Detroit neighbourhood burst on Monday 17 February, filling the streets with icy water.
Temperatures reached -17C (1.4F) when the flooding happened early in the morning.
The water main was almost a century old though it is not clear what caused it to break.
Crews were in the area working to clean the streets and repair the break.
