Governor Whitmer has issued Executive Order 2020-28 requiring the reconnection of service to residences that have had water service shut off. The order requires public water suppliers to immediately identify residences in their service area that do not currently have water service and to make best efforts to restore service to homes where service has been disconnected due to non-payment or damaged infrastructure. The order is effective for the duration of the COVID-19 emergency.
