Bill overview
This bill creates a program to help low-income Michigan residents afford their water bills. It establishes a ‘low-income water residential affordability program’ that aims to limit water bill payments to a maximum of 3% of household income for eligible customers. The program will be administered by the Department of Environment, Great Lakes & Energy and will include provisions for determining eligibility, managing funding, and offering potential forgiveness of past-due water bills. It also allows providers to create their own affordability programs or collaborate with community organizations to achieve similar goals.
