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.

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is awarding $3.9 million in brownfield funding to seven projects that will create at least 68 new housing units and 66 new full-time equivalent jobs. The EGLE grants will be used to remove or address contamination so the properties can be safely reused and redeveloped into mixed-use housing and commercial space, single-family housing, light industrial, and a new restaurant.
An $805,000 EGLE grant will help turn a former hotel and Charlevoix County Road Commission storage site into new housing and commercial space. The redevelopment will have a mix of 17 for-sale condos and for-rent apartments. Eight of the units will be held for people making 60% to 120% of the Area Median Income. The $8.6 million project is expected to create 12 new jobs. The new building is expected to be ready for occupancy by early 2028.
