Township officials and other municipal leaders engage and provide recommended changes to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) scoring criteria for the state’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) and Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF). The department reviews and updates the scoring criteria every three years to match community needs across the state. On June 23 and 24, EGLE is hosting virtual public listening sessions to review current scoring criteria and receive recommendations for changes that will be implemented for the following three fiscal years, 2027 through 2029. Join the virtual CWSRF listening session on June 23 at 1 p.m. or the DWSRF listening session on June 24 at 1 p.m.; for those unable to participate, written comments can be emailed to EGLE-WIFFS@Michigan.gov. Recordings of the listening sessions will be uploaded on the new scoring criteria webpage.
Additionally, local elected leaders, planning agency representatives, watershed management leaders and drain commissioners are asked to share their stormwater infrastructure priorities and water infrastructure needs via a brief survey. This information will assist EGLE in updating the State Revolving Fund (SRF) by identifying upcoming water infrastructure needs and help shape the future of the SRF.
