Michigan's Benton Harbor water safety questioned in hearing
Michigan officials faced tough questions on Benton Harbor drinking water as lawmakers pressed EGLE director Liesl Clark about safety. Clark avoided a definitive yes or no, saying safety falls under health department purview, while urging faster pipe replacement with state funding and noting urgent, inexcusable conditions. The hearing highlighted long‑standing lead contamination since 2018, ongoing Action plans, and calls for immediate federal and legislative help to replace lead pipes statewide.
