Webb City residents asked to check their water pipes
WEBB CITY, Mo. — Webb City is sending out thousands of letters to check a potential impact to the water supply.
They’re sending out a voluntary survey asking residents to check their water pipes to see if they’re made of lead. It’s part of a statewide effort by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources to determine how many lead water pipes remain in use.

City workers say they believe the vast majority in Webb City are composed of other materials.
“We’re looking at avenues with the department of natural resources – if there are lead pipes, how will we solve this problem and what can we do to fix it. i know there’s alot of people who think, ‘if we return this, we’re going to send them a bill and make them replace them. that’s not going to happen,” said Carl Francis, Webb City City Administrator.
They’re asking residents to respond in time to submit overall results to the state in October.
