This annual switch is a crucial part of our quality assurance program to ensure the safety and reliability of our water supply.

Vandalia Secures Grant to Ensure Safe Drinking Water - In a significant step towards ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents, the City of Vandalia has secured a substantial grant from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (DNR). This grant will fund a comprehensive project to inspect and replace lead service lines throughout the city. The City of Vandalia aims to identify and replace any lead service lines that may pose a risk to public health. With the grant, Vandalia will be able to conduct thorough inspections of all service lines, ensuring that every household has access to safe, clean drinking water. To keep residents informed and involved, the city will be distributing informational flyers to every household. These flyers will provide details about the project, including the timeline, what residents can expect during inspections, and tips on how to reduce lead exposure in their homes. The flyers will also include contact information for residents who have questions or need further assistance. The project is set to begin in early 2025, with teams of inspectors working systematically through the city. Residents are encouraged to cooperate with the inspection teams and to reach out to the city’s public works department with any concerns. This proactive approach by the City of Vandalia not only addresses immediate health concerns but also sets a precedent for other communities to follow. By taking these steps, Vandalia is ensuring a safer, healthier future for all its residents.
