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.

Emily Molnar’s home in Au Train is more energy efficient thanks to the MiHER rebate program. A Marquette County homeowner opened her door recently to show fellow Michiganders how the Michigan Home Energy Rebates (MiHER) program helps make energy-efficient home improvements more affordable.
Under the watchful eye of her cat, Cheech, Emily Molnar of Au Train invited guests from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) and regional news media to see and learn about the electric heat pump that contractor Great Lakes Weatherization installed in her home through the program in November.
MiHER, rolled out in 2025 and administered by EGLE, provides rebates to help Michigan households improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs, and increase home comfort while supporting local jobs. The program features two rebate pathways, each of which received just over $105 million in federal funding:
Electric heat pump installed thanks to the MiHER rebate program. Molnar qualified for a $20,000 HOMES rebate for a home energy assessment and to install an HVAC heat pump and heat pump water heater, and a HEAR rebate of $6,500 [GG1.1]for an electrical panel upgrade and wiring.
She said her home was in rough shape when she moved in two years ago, and the MiHER upgrades have helped make it a good place to live even through a cold, Upper Peninsula winter.
MiHER’s goal is to fund energy efficiency and electrification upgrades for approximately 15,000 homes in Michigan. To make sure all eligible Michiganders have equitable access, rebates are being distributed across 10 districts covering the state. Each region receives a base allocation plus additional funding based on its proportion of low-income Michiganders and their associated energy burden.
In the Marquette district, covering the Upper Peninsula, 400 homeowners so far have been approved for participation in the program, 90 projects are underway, 40 projects are completed, and more than $595,000 in HOMES and HEAR rebates have been distributed.
In the Detroit district, participation levels are nearing MiHER’s funding cap for single-family projects, leading to a temporary pause in approvals. The program will keep reviewing and processing applications already submitted for Detroit district properties and will reopen income qualified applications once EGLE determines there is sufficient capacity to take on additional projects in the district.
For MiHER participants, potential funding amounts depend on household income, identified energy efficiency upgrades, estimated energy savings, rebate limits set by EGLE and the U.S. Department of Energy, and total project costs.
Interested homeowners can assess their eligibility by using an online AMI calculator, submitting an application, and choosing a prequalified contractor who will schedule a home assessment to identify eligible upgrades and estimate rebate amounts. The contractor will complete the energy upgrades and receive the rebate. Homeowners don’t have to pay up front for the covered rebate amount.
EGLE is taking applications from low-to-moderate-income residents across the state, with the temporary exception of the Detroit district.
Information is available on a frequently asked questions webpage or by contacting the MiHER support team at 855-510-7080 or MiEnergyRebates@CLEAResult.com.
The MiHER program is seeking not only homeowners but contractors to participate. Contractors provide home energy assessments and install energy efficiency and electrification measures. Those who participate in other Michigan energy efficiency programs may already meet many of the program’s participation requirements.
