Whitmer proposes $180 million plan to improve Michigan water
Governor Gretchen Whitmer requests 180 million to upgrade tap water quality across Michigan. It funds replacing lead pipes and school fountains, reducing contaminants in public supplies and private wells, as part of a supplemental budget alongside a 60 billion 2019 20 plan. Utilities outside Flint would receive state help, while major Detroit area suppliers challenge the rules as a 2.5 billion unfunded mandate.
