Governor Whitmer Announces MI Clean Water: A Historic $500 Million Investment To Rebuild Michigan’s Water Infrastructure

October 1, 2020

(October 1, 2020 10:05 AM) Governor Gretchen Whitmer today, along with bipartisan and bicameral partners, announced MI Clean Water, a $500 million comprehensive water infrastructure investment in Michigan's water systems from source to tap.

The MI Clean Water Plan marks a significant step toward that goal,” said Governor Whitmer. “The MI Clean Water investment will help us rebuild Michigan’s water infrastructure and will prioritize and invest directly into protecting our public health, environment, and economy.

Everyone must remain committed to ensuring that every Michigander has access to clean water." The MI Clean Water investment is a unified approach to cleaner, more affordable water. This provides direct investments for communities, helps provide safe, clean water to residents, and will support over 7,500 Michigan jobs, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. “Access to clean drinking water is a cornerstone of our work at EGLE, and this exciting package of water protections pulls together a wealth of resources to help ensure clean water for all Michiganders,” said EGLE Director Liesl Clark. “Now is the perfect…
