Water supply: conservation; limits on water withdrawals under part 327 of the natural resources and environmental protection act; amend. Amends 1994 PA 451 (MCL 324.101 - 324.90106) by adding sec. 32707a.
SB 763 prevents water users with permits under Michigan's water withdrawal rules from charging the public for costs related to infrastructure upgrades needed when they increase their water withdrawal capacity. It applies specifically to permit holders who seek to exceed their previously reported withdrawal limits and require new infrastructure (like pipes or treatment systems) to accommodate the increase. The bill ensures these infrastructure costs remain the responsibility of the permit holder, not the public, when expanding water use. This policy change directly affects commercial, industrial, or municipal water users holding permits under Section 32723 of Michigan's Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act.
