  • October 12Th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We Urge You to Take Up
    October 12th, 2020 Dear Michigan Senators, We urge you to take up and support the substitute version of Senate Bill 241 sponsored by Sen. Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit). The bill places a statewide moratorium on water shut offs through the end of the year and ensures water service is restored to any Michigander currently shut off. Access to water is essential to human life at any time, but even more so during a public health pandemic when hand washing and bathing is critical to limiting spread and exposure to COVID-19. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-144 required public water supplies to restore water service to Michiganders across the state during the state of emergency. The EO allowed low-income households – many of whom are fixed income, unemployed, underemployed and/or essential workers – to have essential water service. The recent Michigan Supreme Court decision invalidated the EO, leaving behind an inadequate patchwork of local policies for water access for our most vulnerable Michigan households, including the elderly, children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. Michiganders across the state are experiencing financial hardship that has put their access to basic utility services at risk. This is a statewide problem that needs a statewide solution. Unfortunately, Michigan has no comprehensive water service reporting requirements so access to data on water shut offs is limited. In Detroit – the most glaring example of water unaffordability and shut offs – a Freedom of Information Act request by Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine found that 9,500 occupied homes that were disconnected for non-payment in 2019 were still without service in mid-January 2020.1 Further, a national survey found that the average water utility disconnected five percent of households for nonpayment in 2016, affecting an estimated 15 million Americans.2 EO 2020-144 did include a one-time reporting requirement, but the reporting from public water supplies under the EO was flawed and filled with gaps and missing data points.
