Water supply: quality and standards; access to safe drinking water; require when a water source tests positive for polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding secs. 12722, 12723 & 12724.
This bill requires Michigan's Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to notify private well owners and their neighbors within a one-mile radius if testing detects unsafe levels of PFAS chemicals. The law mandates that these notifications include advice on safe water use, information on potential health risks, and details on how to access free, certified water filters. Additionally, the bill establishes a voluntary registry to ensure individuals who might be affected by future testing are informed via email when new tests occur. By adding specific sections to the state's public health code, the legislation aims to improve transparency and provide immediate resources to residents facing contaminated drinking water.
