WASHINGTON – Missouri has the sixth-highest number of lead pipes of any state in the nation and the fourth-highest number per capita nationwide at 5,362 lead lines per 100,000 people, according to a new survey from NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). An estimated 330,000 or more lead service lines carry drinking water to Missouri residents who may not suspect their tap water could be contaminated with lead. NRDC s new national survey of lead service lines – the lead pipes that carry water from water mains under the street to homes – found between 9.7 million and 12.8 million lead pipes are connected to residences. All 50 states have lead pipes carrying drinking water to as many as 12 million people, and potentially more, who may not suspect their tap water is contaminated with lead. There is no safe level of lead, which causes irreversible harm to people’s health, particularly for children.
