The City of Boonville is conducting an inventory of all water lines, public and private, in the city limits.
The Environmental Protection Agency is requiring all water service providers in the country to conduct this inventory. The purpose of this inventory is to identify if any service or main lines in each system are composed of lead or galvanized pipe. The City is required to submit an initial water inventory to the Missouri department of Natural Resources by October 16, 2024.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes, faucets, and fixtures. This includes the service line that carries water to a home or building from the public water main. The federal government banned using lead pipe and solder in new plumbing in 1986. Missouri’s lead ban became effective January 1, 1989. Plumbing installed before 1989 may contain lead.
The lead free standard effective in 1989 allowed 8% lead in pipe, fittings, and fixtures and .2% in solder. On Jan. 4, 2014, the Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water act changed the lead-free standards to .25% lead as a weighted average on all wetted surfaces for pipes, fittings and fixtures. The standard for solder remained the same at .2% lead.
As your public water supply system, the City of Boonville is conducting a lead service line inventory required by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources mentioned above. In performing the lead service line inventory, we need to know the material composition of both the publicly owned (water system-owned) and privately owned (customer owned) portions of the service line. We are requesting your help in this identification process.
Please use the QR code at the bottom of this page to set up an appointment for a representative of the City of Boonville to identify the service line material composition.
Your willingness to allow the City to enter your home and identify the service line material composition will qualify you to receive $10 discount on your water bill following your appointment.
