Water Quality Concerns
KC Water has provided the following statement in response to concerns about water taste.
6/29/25: Customers, due to heavy rainfall north of the Kansas City area in recent days you may notice some changes to the taste or smell of your tap water.
These changes are typical after heavy rains and completely harmless. KC Water laboratory staff are monitoring the Missouri River, where all our water comes from, very closely and the department is adjusting treating measures as needed.
The smell and taste changes will cycle through the water system in the coming days, depending on weather north of the city but
be confident that your water is safe to drink.
