Gov. Whitmer Signs Bipartisan Legislation to Ensure Clean Drinking Water in Schools and Childcare Centers

Press Release

Date: Oct. 19, 2023
Location: Lansing, Mich

"Every parent wants to make sure their kids are healthy, and today's bills ensure that our kids have safe and clean drinking water when they sip from the drinking fountain. In Michigan, we have seen the devastating and long-lasting impact of lead exposure, and we are committed to making sure no child has to suffer through this again. That's why we've enforced the strongest lead and copper rule in the country, invested billions of dollars into water facilities, and helped communities replace lead service lines and rebuild their water infrastructure."
