Michigan DEQ has commendably stepped in to the attempt by the City of Evart and Nestle to commercialize and privatize a public water well for export outside of the Great Lakes Basin. In a two-page letter dated yesterday, Director Steve Chester peppered the City with questions about the deal and its implications. A good first step. DEQ has the legal authority to stop the project if it chooses to do so.
