Lead and Copper Rule Revisions
Reporting Violation1 violation, Jul 2025 to open
Reporting Violation: 1 violation, open since Jul 2025. The system did not report required information on time.
What the rule requires: The 2021 LCRR updated the 1991 LCR with mandatory lead service line inventories and replacement planning, a new 'trigger level' at 10 ppb requiring optimization, and strengthened public education. The 2024 Lead and Copper Rule Improvements (LCRI) further requires replacing all lead service lines within 10 years.

Ground Water Rule
Monitoring and Reporting4 violations, Aug 2023 to Mar 2026
Monitoring and Reporting: 4 violations, Aug 2023 to Mar 2026. The system did not complete required monitoring, or did not report the results on time. This does not show that a contaminant was found.
What the rule requires: The 2006 GWR requires regular sanitary surveys of groundwater systems and targeted corrective action when fecal indicators are found in source water. Systems with significant deficiencies must provide 4-log virus treatment (99.99% removal/inactivation) or fix the deficiency.

Maximum Contaminant Level Violation Health-based4 violations, Jan 2024 to Mar 2026 · Combined Radium (-226 and -228) · 4 measured values
Maximum Contaminant Level Violation, health-based: 4 violations, Jan 2024 to Mar 2026. A sample exceeded the maximum contaminant level EPA allows in drinking water.

Contaminant on the record: Combined Radium (-226 and -228).
Combined Radium (-226 and -228), health effects: Radium is a bone-seeking radionuclide that accumulates in skeletal tissue after ingestion. Long-term exposure increases the risk of bone cancer and leukemia. There is no safe threshold for ionizing radiation — the MCL is set at a level balancing risk reduction with treatment feasibility. Children are particularly vulnerable due to higher rates of bone growth and calcium uptake. Limit: 5 pCi/L (combined Ra-226 and Ra-228)
Lead and copper at the tap
The 90th percentile of the tap samples the system collected in its latest monitoring period, against EPA's action level. Levels vary between homes.
Action level 0.015 mg/L · Jan 2022 to Dec 2024
About this data
Rules violated and the list above come from EPA's SDWIS violation records, one row per violation and contaminant, grouped by the rule each row belongs to. A violation counts when its non-compliance period ended on or after Jul 1, 2023, the start of the thirteen quarters ECHO's three-year figures cover, or is still open; it is unresolved when it was still open at EPA's data refresh on Oct 7, 2026. EPA's rule code 500, "Not Regulated", is left out, as in ECHO's counts. Each rule's violation count is EPA's, and one rule can carry several: a missed monitoring round for a group of contaminants is one violation per contaminant and period. Category names are EPA's violation categories.
ECHO's own summary count of rules violated agrees with this grouping for 98.8% of active systems nationally, and its count of rules being violated for 98.7%; where they differ, the figures here follow the rows listed.
A measured value shown with a rule is the sample result EPA recorded with that violation (SDWIS viol_measure), against the limit EPA recorded on the same row (state_mcl), both in EPA's unit as written; violations without a recorded value, such as missed monitoring, show none. Other measured contaminant levels are not part of this record; each system publishes them in its annual Consumer Confidence Report.
Lead and copper are the newest 90th-percentile results in EPA's SDWA data download (LCR_SAMPLES, codes PB90 and CU90): for each monitoring period a system reports the 90th-percentile value of its tap samples, which EPA compares with its action level of 0.015 mg/L for lead and 1.3 mg/L for copper (40 CFR 141.80). A result is not a measurement of any one tap.
Service area from EPA's Public Water System Service Area Boundaries dataset: Random Forest method, Federal agency. The system's location is the centre of the service area EPA publishes for the system.
Source: the U.S. EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online system (ECHO), which publishes the federal Safe Drinking Water Information System. EPA's terms and values are shown as published. The Missouri records are from EPA's data refresh of Oct 7, 2026; EPA refreshes this data quarterly, and states report to EPA with a lag of three to six months, so the newest violations may not appear yet.
