The City of West Burlington is committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of our residents by providing clean, safe, and great-tasting drinking water, both now and in the future. Supplying drinking water to the public is a highly regulated process, governed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). We take this responsibility seriously, with rigorous monitoring and frequent testing to ensure our customers receive the highest water quality standards.

In 2021, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the Lead and Copper Rule to better protect children and communities from the risks of lead exposure in drinking water and to empower communities with vital information. Under the new requirements of the Lead and Copper Rule Revisions (LCRR), all Iowa water suppliers are required to identify the service line material for all water within their distribution systems. As a result, the City of West Burlington has compiled a comprehensive inventory identifying lead, non-lead, and unknown service lines on an interactive map.

Service Line Inventory

The City of West Burlington is currently updating records for customer's water service lines. These service lines connect the water distribution pipes in the street to the water meter in your home or business. The inventory is mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the recently revised Lead and Copper Rule. 

This does not mean service lines need to be replaced by the deadline, only identified. At a minimum, the city will need to determine if the service lines are classified as lead, galvanized requiring replacement, non-lead or unknown.

In an effort to better manage resources and costs, the city is asking for help from residents and business owners to self-identify their property’s private service line material. As a result, a Lead Service Line Survey has been created to gather all required information.

For those residents that do not wish to complete the survey online, you may complete the adjoining questionnaire and return it to the city. Additional paper copies are at City Hall located at 122 Broadway Street. If you have any questions, please contact City Hall at 319-752-5451.
