MAGNOLIA-RESOLVE WHISPERWOOD Water System: Lead Service Line Information
About Your Water System
MAGNOLIA-RESOLVE WHISPERWOOD serves approximately 6,867 residents in Missouri. The utility draws from groundwater sources.
Lead Service Line Inventory Status
As of now, MAGNOLIA-RESOLVE WHISPERWOOD has not yet completed a full lead service line inventory. This means the utility has not yet documented how many homes are connected by lead pipes—the pipes that run from the water main under the street to individual properties.
Under the Lead and Copper Rule, all US water systems must complete this inventory and make it public. If your utility hasn't finished, you're not alone: many smaller systems are still in the process.
What This Means for Your Home
Without a completed inventory, you won't know from your utility's records whether your home has a lead service line. However, you can:
- Contact the utility directly and ask whether your property is served by a lead line. Describe your address and ask for records.
- Check your home's age. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead service lines, though they exist in homes built later.
- Have your water tested. Even if you have a lead service line, water treatment and corrosion control can reduce lead levels. A lab test is the only way to know if lead is actually in your tap water.
Funding and Replacement
Information about whether MAGNOLIA-RESOLVE WHISPERWOOD has received funding for lead service line replacement or has a replacement plan is not currently available. Contact the utility directly to ask about replacement timelines or financial assistance for residents.
Next Steps for Residents

- Visit the EPA's information on lead in drinking water for testing resources and health information.

Frequently asked
How do I know if my house has a lead service line?
Contact your water utility and ask directly—they may have records even if their inventory isn't public yet. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead lines. A plumber can also inspect the line where it enters your home.
Does a lead service line mean my water is unsafe?
Not necessarily. Lead leaches into water mainly if it's acidic or corrosion control isn't working. A water test is the only way to know if lead is actually present in your tap water.
What should I do if my water tests positive for lead?
Use bottled water for drinking and cooking until you can address it. Contact your utility about options and ask about replacement programs or assistance. For health concerns, call your pediatrician or the CDC.
When will my water company finish the lead inventory?
Deadlines vary, but the EPA requires all systems to complete inventories by specific dates. Call your utility to ask for their timeline and whether replacement funding is available.
