The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) requires the City of Macomb to notify residents whose water service line is identified as lead, galvanized, or unknown. Citizens who have been mailed a letter regarding their water service line are required to report their service line material.
Reporting can be done online at https://cityofmacomb.com/customer- service-water-line-material-survey/ or by calling the Department of Public Works at 309-833-2821.
Please note that receiving a letter does not indicate that your water is unsafe. The City treats its water with a corrosion inhibitor, which prevents lead from dissolving into the drinking water. Based on our testing results, this treatment is working effectively. Please call 309-833-2821 with questions.
