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.

Lead and copper are common metals found in the environment. Drinking water is one possible source of exposure to these metals due to their widespread use in distribution system materials.
The purpose of the Lead and Copper Rule (LCR), is to control lead and copper levels by reducing water corrosivity. All community and nontransient noncommunity water supplies (types of public water supplies) must meet the LCR requirements.
