A Letter From The BWL Water Quality Team
Dear Customer,
We’re pleased to present the 26th annual report summarizing the quality of the drinking water provided to you by the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) for the 2023 calendar year. This Consumer Confidence Report is required by the Federal and State of Michigan Safe Drinking Water Acts (SDWA). This report discusses the source of your tap water, the results of tests we regularly conduct to assure the quality of your water and additional information you may wish to know about your drinking water.
As a publicly owned utility, the BWL encourages public interest and participation in decisions affecting the community’s drinking water. The BWL’s Board of Commissioners meet on the fourth Tuesday of every other month at our REO Town Depot Facility, 1201 S. Washington Ave., Lansing. Meeting dates and times are published in advance and may be found on the BWL’s website or by calling 517-702-6006. Our board meetings are open to the public.
If you have questions or need further information on BWL’s water, please contact me at water@lbwl.com or 517-702-7059.
Sincerely,
Angie Goodman
Water Quality Administrator
