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.

The federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that all public water systems (community and noncommunity) provide an adequate supply of safe drinking water to customers and consumers. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is responsible for implementing and managing the SDWA at the state level. One of the regulations is the 1989 Total Coliform Rule (TCR).
On April 1, 2016, the Revised Total Coliform Rule (RTCR) went into effect replacing the old regulations. Total coliform bacteria function as indicator organisms. Their presence indicates a potential pathway allowing contamination into the distribution system exists. The RTCR establishes a maximum contaminant level (MCL) for E. coli.
This video will cover how to properly collect a bacteriological drinking water sample to meet the compliance requirements of the Revised Total Coliform Rule.
