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.

As part of Private Residential Well Awareness Day during Drinking Water Awareness Week in Michigan, MI Environment looks at the importance of properly maintaining residential wells.
More than one million Michiganders get their drinking water from a private residential well. Taking proper care and maintenance of these systems is vital to protecting the health and well-being of families served by these systems.
The Michigan departments of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), and local health departments work collaboratively to raise awareness and offer education to protect Michigan private residential well owners.
Drinking water is an essential part of all living things, but sometimes contaminants enter water unnoticed, as many have no smell, taste, or color. Some can be harmful to your health, and they can be manmade contaminants like industrial chemicals, or natural sources like bacteria that works its way into the well plumbing. If your household gets drinking water from a private residential well, learn about well maintenance activities you can do to protect your family's health:
Inspect.
Routinely maintain your well.
Keep your well records.
Learn More on EGLE's drinking water webpage.
