Michigan SB0250 creates a low-income water residential affordability program.

Michigan SB0250 amends the Michigan Compiled Laws to establish a low-income water residential affordability program. This program aims to reduce or forgive water bill arrearages, ensure that eligible customers' monthly water bills are based on their household income, and limit the amount they pay to no more than 3% of their household income. Eligible customers include those with household incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. The program includes tiers based on household income and water usage limits.
