Nickel violations in Michigan

51 active public water systems in Michigan had a Nickel violation in the past three years. What Nickel is and why it matters.

Nickel compounds are classified as known human carcinogens (Group A) by IARC for inhalation; the oral carcinogenicity evidence is less established. Individuals with nickel sensitivity may also experience dermatological reactions.

About this data

A system is counted once if any of its violations in the past three years involved Nickel, including monitoring and reporting lapses. Rules violated and status in the table are for the whole system, not Nickel alone.

Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Michigan records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet. Retrieved from ECHO on Oct 11, 2026.
