Michigan Water Leak Pilot: Recommendations for Improving Local and State Agency Collaborations with Community Groups and Residents

These lessons learned come from a program evaluation of the water leak pilot program initiated by the Michigan Clean Water Public Advocate in January 2021. The pilot program was conducted in two communities: Highland Park in Southeast Michigan and Benton Harbor in Southwest Michigan. The goal of the pilot project was to provide plumbing services to stop supply-side leaks in up to 100 homes in each community.
