At this time, the State of Michigan, Department of Health and Human Services, as well as other local health departments within the GLWA service area have declared emergencies related to the risk of infection associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The meeting of the GLWA Capital Planning Committee scheduled for June 15, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. will be held telephonically and through electronic conferencing.  Members of the public who wish to attend this meeting by telephone can do so in the following manner:
