alicat, I'm originally from Michigan as well, and this is my first year away from the state. I know just what you mean. On the West side of the state, we'd often hear news stories on how medical waste, such as syringes and things, were washing up on shore in Holland, Muskegon, and other coastal towns. They claimed that Milwaukee was responsible. There are so many big cities on these coasts, and a lot of them dump some very hazardous stuff right in the water.
Luckily there are many other bodies of water in the inland of Michigan that can be better controlled for pollution and will provide good drinking water. Unfortunately, they often are not controlled well.
