Establishes a water affordability program to ensure water bills are affordable for low-income households.

The Michigan Water Affordability Act creates a program to ensure water bills are affordable for low-income households. It defines "qualified customers" as those with household incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. The act mandates an "income rate program" to cap water bills based on household income, with different caps for different income levels. It prohibits water systems from shutting off service for non-payment if the customer is a qualified customer, protected customer, or resides in a protected residence.
