We are surrounded by over 20% of the world’s fresh water. Despite this, for too many Michigan families, residential water rates have become unaffordable. Over the last 40 years, residential water service rates in Michigan have nearly doubled when adjusted for inflation. In some of our communities, rates have nearly quadrupled in the same timeframe. Current estimates show that nearly 1 in 10 Michigan families struggle with water affordability, and we need a statewide solution.
Our Michigan Legislature is very close to passing water affordability legislation which will ensure that all Michigan families have access to affordable water. However, the Macomb County Board of Commissioners is considering a resolution opposing the water affordability program. Get in touch with your commissioner today and ask them to oppose this resolution and support water affordability for our communities!
There are no officials for you to contact on Twitter.
This action is only available for Macomb residents.
Please click here to send a message to your Michigan Representative and Senator to support water affordability legislation.
