State-Wide Water Filter Support Program

State-Wide Water Filter Support Program

Michigan families may be eligible to receive water filter support through the Get Ahead of Lead (GAoL) program. This statewide program provides a certified lead-reducing drinking water filter and replacement cartridges to eligible Michigan families.

The Filter Support Program includes:

• A certified lead-reducing water filter and replacement cartridges.
• Optional notifications to remind households to replace cartridges.
• If eligible, assistance with applying for in-home services through the Faucet and Filter Safety Net Program.
• If necessary, help getting connected to blood lead testing resources.
• Health education resources.

A household may be eligible for the Statewide Filter Support if:

A child under 19 on Medicaid or a pregnant Medicaid enrollee lives there, and

The home has — or may have — lead plumbing, such as:

• Lead or galvanized plumbing.
• A lead service line connecting the home to the street.
• Faucets or fittings sold before 2014.

Homes served by private wells may also have lead-containing plumbing and may be eligible to receive support.
