Is Your Service Line Made of Lead?
Missouri American Water has voluntarily pledged to replace all lead/galvanized service lines in the communities we serve by 2030. This goes above and beyond current federal requirements to better protect our customers. We are proud to work with lawmakers, regulators, community stakeholders, and our customers to achieve this goal.
If you think your service line may contain lead/galvanized, you can self-report or have one of our professionals come and inspect it for you.
If your service line is made of lead or galvanized steel, we’d like to work with you to replace it at no direct cost to you.

WASTE CONNECTIONS WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY
With the anticipated frigid and wintery weather forecast for our winter months, Waste Connections would like to roll out our plan to our Municipal customers in case of delayed starts or any suspended services due to extreme weather.
In the event of sub-zero temperatures, dangerous wind chills or large amounts of accumulative snow our management team will make a decision to either delay start of service or suspend service entirely.
DELAYED SERVICE:
Our drivers are typically preparing their day around 5am with most cities having a 6:30 to 7:00 am curfew start time. If management decides to delay our start there will be an anticipated new start time of 8AM or later. This will be communicated to each city first thing that morning via email.
SUSPENDED SERVICE:
In the event that the drivers’ safety is at risk, management will then suspend service for that day only unless the reason warrants additional days which will be determined each day thereafter. In the event of one day suspended service the remainder of the week will be treated as a rolling week and each service day will roll through Saturday and be completed. In the event that more than one day is affected, a determination will be made at that time and emails will be sent to cities with the remainder of the weeks plan.
CUSTOMER SERVICE:
Our customer service department will add a recorded message regarding the situation for the day. If service is delayed or suspended please ask your residents to download the Waste Connections mobile app to find out your collection schedule. The free app is available for download on Apple and Android devices.

Gateway Airport Communities Coalition Announcement
June 8, 2023. City of Woodson Terrace, Missouri
Today, at the invitation of the Mayor of the City of Woodson Terrace, 7 municipalities
met and agreed to work as a Coalition to create and advocate for inclusion, equity and
opportunity as part of infrastructure and development planning underway at St. Louis
Lambert Airport and its connections with Interstate 70, arterial roadways and Bi-State
Metrolink stations.
The City(s) of Berkeley, Edmundson, Hazelwood, Kinloch, Overland, St. Ann and
Woodson Terrace, agreed to form a Gateway Airport Communities coalition, to focus on
engaging the voices and visions of municipalities and community stakeholders in
proximity with Lambert Airport to provide input on transportation connectivity to improve
access, linkages, jobs and opportunity.
The group agreed on a shared vision that St. Louis Lambert International Airport is a
central hub from which a vibrant, connected transportation network of Gateway Airport
Community corridors can be supported to welcome and facilitate the flow of commerce
through the larger St. Louis region. Investment in well-planned roads, combined with
innovative multi-modal air and transit alternatives, will remove barriers that impede
community activity, and enhance mobility, quality of life and opportunities for all.
Next steps will be to broaden the coalition and call on local, State and Federal leaders
to “amplify the story” that will ensure local community engagement is part of major
infrastructure investments, anticipated in the Gateway Airport footprint and I-70 corridor.
“We are all part of the Greater St. Louis Region,” stated Woodson Terrace Mayor
Lawrence, “Butch” Besmer, “and we feel pretty strongly that we, too, should share in the
prosperity that flows from these public investments.”
