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.

Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) monitoring results in Flint, MI.
Michigan’s strictest-in-the-nation Lead and Copper Rule (LCR) has become even more protective of public health this year.
Enacted by the legislature in 2018, the LCR established a lead action level of 15 parts per billion (ppb) for public water systems in the state. Under the existing rule, the new lead action level dropped to 12 ppb effective Jan. 1, 2025.
The other requirements – including collection of both a first- and fifth-liter water sample to better detect the presence of lead service lines outside the home – remain in effect.
October of 2024 also marked the deadline for public water systems to submit to EGLE a final Distribution System Materials Inventory (DSMI) to identify legacy lead service lines that must be replaced.
EGLE is also welcoming the recent US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule requiring all states to replace lead service lines by 2037 and further tightening the lead action level to 10 ppb by late 2027.
