SWAP - Inland River Supplies

Only 7 supplies in Michigan get their source water from inland rivers. These supplies are located on the River Raisin (3 supplies), the Pine River, the Flint River, the Indian River, and the Huron River. Some of these supplies have intakes located behind impoundments in the rivers, others from pipes in the shore or bottom of the river. Inland river supplies intakes and their source water areas are very highly sensitive to their natural setting. The susceptibility, or risk of contamination, from human activities ranges from high to very high.
