Leadwood Missouri's Water is Contaminated!

The Issue

The residents of Leadwood are being forced to pay high water bills for water that is not safe for drinking or cooking and certainly not ideal to bathe in for anyone. This has been an ongoing issue for the residents of this town for far too many years. The whole water system needs an overhaul. From the pipes all the way to the treatment of the water. Our community in this day and age, should have access to clean and safe water. Please help me by signing this petition to get the attention of our state representatives so that our families can have clean and safe water in our homes, schools, daycares and community.

I have talked to mayor Parks. I fully understand the water is discolered and may have a smell. The water was tested by DNR on January 23, 2017. It had a little iron and mangneseum but was safe for drinking. He informed me that Leadwood is attempting an overhaul of the entire water system. They have an engineering firm working with them. I will continue to monitor the situation.
