FRANKLIN TOWNSHIP is one of 1,316 community water systems in Michigan in the 500 or fewer people size category, serving 300 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2023 and 2026, all of which EPA lists as closed.
All 3 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves synthetic organic chemicals and the Total Coliform Rules.
