Midwest Homes has faced lead pipe issues for decades, but it is starting to show more and more.  Aging lead pipes across  Missouri have been deemed harmful due to lead exposure.  Not only is lead a neurotoxin, but it is especially harmful for children under 6 years old because they absorb more of it.  It can be attributed to behavioral problems, developmental delays, and ADHD.

Though Congress banned the use of lead pipes in 1986, they still allowed the pre-existing lead pipes to remain.  Three decades later and an estimated 15-22 million Americans still cook with and drink tap water via their service lines (AKA lead pipes)
