Kansas City water quality throughout the years

Now
Then

Today, Kansas City Water delivers water through more than 2,800 miles of pipeline, serving more than 170,000 customers. In 2019, KC Water produced an average of 90 million gallons of drinking water per day, enough water to fill 136 Olympic-sized swimming pools. According to the 2020 Kansas City Water Quality assessment, Kansas City tap water meets regulations, however, it may contain microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Although KC Water continues to monitor for lead and copper, old pipes and fixtures may leach into water. Seasonal changes in temperature and precipitation upstream can also affect the Kansas City water quality. As the river becomes very muddy due to silt and organic matter that gets carried downstream, consumers may notice an earthy or musty odor or taste, as well as a green tint.

The Kansas City metropolitan area has a history forever entwined with the region’s water. The city lies at the confluence of the Kansas and Missouri Rivers and straddles the two states’ lines. The city was established in Missouri in 1838 and in Kansas in 1872. Strategically located, the region offers key opportunities for trade and commerce.

Early residents drew water exclusively from wells and cisterns, but waterborne illness and the need for fire protection encouraged Kansas City officials to establish a formal system. The area’s first waterworks was built in 1874 and originally provided thirsty residents with 5 million gallons of water per day from the Kaw River. As the city’s population swelled throughout the 20th century, water managers turned to the most natural source: the historic Missouri River.

Frequently asked questions

Is Kansas City tap water safe to drink?

Yes, according to the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities (BPU), Kansas City tap water, which comes primarily from the Missouri River, is considered safe to drink. The municipal water supply consistently exceeds quality standards set by state and federal regulatory agencies, and the BPU’s state-certified laboratory regularly monitors it for contaminants at approximately 1,200 sample sites.

However, aging pipes, chlorine additives and seasonal changes to the river can affect water’s taste, color and clarity. An advanced water filtration system can help you address water quality concerns at your home or office so you always have pristine drinking water.

Does Kansas City have hard water?

According to KC Water, Kansas City’s tap water is moderately hard due to the inclusion of dissolved minerals, such as calcium and magnesium. Although hard tap water doesn’t pose a health risk, it can cause buildup or spots on faucets, dishes, coffee makers and stainless steel sinks. 

Water softeners can help consumers address the problems created by hard water. If you’re looking for solutions, contact Culligan Quench for a free phone consultation to find out what services are available in your area.
