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.

Municipal wastewater operator certification
The collection (sewer) system and retention treatment basin (RTB) certified operator rule requirements became effective on April 29, 2026. This means that the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) did not oppose EGLE’s draft rules and allowed the rules to move through the process. You can review the updated rule set and related information.

While the rules are now in effect, communities are not required to comply immediately.
EGLE WRD must first classify collection systems and reclassify RTB systems before the certification requirements apply. At this time, the earliest anticipated timeline for initial system classifications and exam offerings is mid- to late 2028. We are currently developing an implementation strategy, a Frequently Asked Questions document, and additional supporting materials, which will be shared on this webpage as they become available.
Additionally, a webinar will be scheduled in early June to keep you informed and provide a forum for you to ask questions or get clarification
