Failure to Certify Notification to Persons Served by Known or Potential Service Line Containing Lead
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DRINKING WATER
Reporting Requirement(s) Not Met for City of Boonville MO
We failed to send a copy of the materials to people served by the City known to or have potential to contain led by December 31st, 2025, as well as report our compliance of the Lead line service notifications to the State.
Our system failed to demonstrate to the State that it delivered annual notifications and information to affected consumers with lead, galvanized requiring replacement, or lead status unknown service lines as required by July 1, 2026. Although the failure to comply with the reporting requirement does not create a risk to public health, we are required to inform you of this violation and provide additional information including what we did to correct the situation.
It is important for consumers to know if the water they are receiving has been delivered through a lead, galvanized requiring replacement (GRR), or lead status unknown service line so they can make decisions on whether and what actions to take to reduce their exposure to lead in drinking water.
What should I do?
There is nothing you need to do at this time. You do not need to boil your water or take other actions. Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
For more information on reducing lead exposure around your home/building and the health effects of lead, visit the EPA’s websites at https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/basic-information-about-lead-drinking-water and http://www.epa.gov/lead.
What is being done?
- The City of Boonville sent the necessary information out by mail on 03/11/2026 and notification was sent to the state. We are no longer in violation.
For more information, please contact the Director of Public Works Jeff Ditto at (660) 882-5257 or at 1200 Locust Street Boonville, MO 65233.
*Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.*
