Governor Whitmer passes Water Shutoff Restoration Act

LANSING, Mich. — Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed a series of bills into law today, including the Water Shutoff Restoration Act.

The act prohibits water companies from shutting off a client’s water due to nonpayment. Any household who is currently experiencing a water shutoff due to nonpayment will have their water restored.

CDC Guidelines that recommend frequent hand-washing is the reason for the law. The governor said that every Michigander deserves access to clean water, especially during a pandemic.
