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 received a letter regarding their water service line must report their service line material. Reporting can be done online at tinyurl.com/MacombLeadPipeSurveyor 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.
