The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Water Well Viewer (WWV), is an interactive mapping system that displays water wells along with other information, such as wellhead protection areas, underground storage tanks, and sites of environmental contamination. Water well locations have been identified by address matching, the use of global positioning systems (GPS), and by legal descriptions.
This system allows water well drilling and pump installation contractors to submit water well records.
EGLE's interactive calendar is designed to provide timely information on decisions before the Director, proposed settlements of contested cases, administrative rules promulgation, public hearings, meetings and comment deadlines, and environmental conferences, workshops and training programs.
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.

Community residents throughout Michigan, who are at least 18 years of age, are encouraged to serve as Clean Water Ambassadors. As an ambassador, you can share your opinion and stay connected to drinking water related issues in Michigan.
The Clean Water Ambassador Initiative is a statewide program designed to improve education and communication concerning drinking water quality in Michigan. Clean Water Ambassadors may advocate for resources and are given up-to-date information and educational resources so that they may help to spread accurate information about drinking water in their community.
Almost 200 Michigan residents have signed up to be Clean Water Ambassadors, bringing their diverse backgrounds and lived experiences to ensure that our drinking water efforts are inclusive and accessible to Michigan residents.
Clean Water Ambassadors are kept up to date on drinking water issues, given resources to learn more about drinking water, and encouraged to share information via social media or other channels. Ambassadors are also kept up to date on emerging legislation, conferences, and water infrastructure funding opportunities.
No, we welcome Michigan residents with all backgrounds! Some of our ambassadors have spent a large portion of their career in drinking water and many come in with very little knowledge and background on drinking water related issues. Having ambassadors with diverse backgrounds and lived experiences is vital in helping us effectively reach all Michigan residents.
Being a Clean Water Ambassador gives you the opportunity to:
Signing up to become a Clean Water Ambassador is easy! Answer a few questions about yourself and then we will send you some materials to get started.
