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.

In the heart of Michigan’s capital, a major investment in water infrastructure is laying the groundwork for a healthier community, stronger neighborhoods and a more resilient future. The Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) is modernizing its water infrastructure—and is doing so with $32 million in support from EGLE’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. These upgrades will maintain consistent water pressure, reduce the risk of boil water advisories and lower operating costs by an estimated $80,000 annually. Additionally, the BWL plans to replace eight miles of water main every year for approximately the next 100 years to support the delivery of more than 7 billion gallons of water annually.
The project is constructing a new water tower, upgrading the treatment plant, drilling new wells and replacing aging water mains in two of Lansing’s combined sewer overflow subdistricts. For Lansing residents, these upgrades mean peace of mind: turning on the tap and knowing the water is safe, reliable and affordable. For local businesses, it means the stability needed to grow and thrive with confidence that production lines can run without interruption and new developments can move forward with upgraded infrastructure ready to meet demand. For the next generation, it’s an investment in a foundation that will support health, education and opportunities long into the future.
To celebrate the progress happening in Lansing, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) joined state and local leaders for a tour of the BWL Dye Water Conditioning Plant and a roundtable conversation on the far-reaching impacts of water system investments on public health, environmental protection and economic vitality.
EGLE staff participated in the tour at the Lansing Board of Water and Light. “Access to safe drinking water isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity and it’s our responsibility to protect that right for every Michigander,” said EGLE Director Phil Roos. “Investing in water infrastructure strengthens our communities, safeguards public health and supports economic growth. These are investments in our future, laying the foundation for a more resilient, equitable Michigan.”
This is not Lansing’s first time leading the way in water quality. In 2016, the BWL became only the second utility in the nation to voluntarily replace all lead service lines—over 12,000 in total. Today’s projects build on that legacy, ensuring that the city’s water system will continue to serve its people and businesses safely and effectively for generations.
“Access to clean water is important in Lansing, and we are continuously looking at ways to improve our infrastructure to maintain that access for our residents, workers, and visitors,” said Lansing Mayor, Andy Schor. “Thanks to funding from EGLE, the City of Lansing is able to work closely with the Lansing Board of Water & Light to make crucial water infrastructure upgrades to preserve Lansing’s environment and provide clean water.”

Since 2019, the State of Michigan has invested more than $5.3 billion in drinking water, stormwater and wastewater systems through the MI Clean Water Plan and related programs, projects that have supported over 75,000 jobs statewide and strengthened communities.
