The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5 awarded $937,750 in formula grant funding to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2029, under the Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program (CFDA 66.447). EGLE will distribute subawards to eligible Michigan municipalities to support planning, design, and construction of water quality improvement projects, with a specific focus on combined sewer overflow (CSO) and sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) corrections. Municipal recipients will be selected from the SFY2026 Michigan Clean Water State Revolving Fund project priority list.

The primary deliverables include engineering plans, technical design documents, integrated stormwater management master plans, and constructed stormwater and overflow infrastructure systems designed to reduce sewer overflows and improve water quality. Secondary deliverables may include sanitary sewer overflow control solutions with associated specifications for reducing inflow and infiltration. The anticipated outcomes are improved public health and water quality protection through effective stormwater management, with intended beneficiaries including municipal entities across Michigan, particularly rural and disadvantaged communities.
