Bill overview
This bill creates a ‘brown alert’ system in Michigan counties to notify residents about dangerous levels of E. coli or sewage in local waters. When a drain commissioner, public works commissioner, or water resources commissioner determines such a level exists, they must alert the county’s emergency management coordinator. The coordinator then issues a Wireless Emergency Alert to residents, providing information about the contamination’s location and potential health risks. This system aims to quickly inform the public about water quality issues that could pose a health threat.
