    What Is Filter First?

    School Children by ezH2O

    Filter First is a new law (HB 4341 and 4342) that ensures Michigan K-12 schools and childcare centers have continuous access to filtered drinking water. Filtration helps protect children from consuming high levels of lead and other contaminants. All water fixtures used for consumption are required to be properly filtered and tested every year. These fixtures must be accounted for in your school’s drinking water management plan.
