Michigan HB5895 mandates PFAS testing and notification for private drinking water wells.

Michigan HB5895 amends the Safe Drinking Water Act to require the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy to notify owners of private drinking water wells if PFAS is detected above EPA or state maximum contaminant levels. The notification includes advice on water use, information on obtaining a free PFAS NSF certified water filter, and educational materials on PFAS. The department must also notify owners of real property within a 1-mile radius of the well. Local health departments are required to provide free PFAS NSF certified water filters to well owners.
