The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

To protect Michigan children from exposure to lead in drinking water, the Clean Drinking Water Access Act, 2023 PA 154, and amendments to the Child Care Organizations Act, 1973 PA 116, collectively also known as Filter First, were signed into law by Governor Gretchen Whitmer with an effective date of October 24, 2023. These laws require schools and child care centers in Michigan to develop a Drinking Water Management Plan (DWMP), install lead reducing filters on all consumptive fixtures, and test filtered water. Until exhausted, funding will be available for a one-time acquisition/installation of filtered bottle fill water coolers, point of use faucet filters, and certain maintenance and sampling costs. Schools and child care centers that are served by Noncommunity (Type II) water supplies also have requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act which are separate from, but interact with, Filter First requirements.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) have provided a DWMP template, guidance for filters, and training for schools and child care centers.
EGLE conducted a targeted webinar, "Noncommunity (Type II) Safe Drinking Water Act Compliance with Filter First Requirements", on June 26th, 2024. This webinar discussed how the new law requirements interact with existing requirements for schools and child care centers served by Noncommunity (Type II) water supplies. More information about Filter First requirements generally can be found on the Filter First website.
