The short answer
In Platte City, 83% of housing was built before 2010. The lead-free rule that took effect on 4 January 2014 governs what may be sold, not what must be removed, so an older faucet is not unlawful - but it decides which replacement parts are.

83% of the homes in Platte City were built before 2010. Until 4 January 2014 a faucet could lawfully contain up to eight percent lead in the surfaces the water touches.
What this site is
FaucetMend is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. We carry out no work, we sell no fixtures, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call. Nothing here is a statement about the water at any address; only a test of that water can tell you about it.Platte City in numbers

What the 2014 rule changed

One slow tap is usually the aerator
If a single fixture runs weak while the rest of the house is normal, the aerator at the end of the spout is the first thing to unscrew. It is the simplest fix in plumbing and it does not need anybody called out.

Checking a plumber in Missouri
Missouri has no state plumbing board. Section 341.010 of the Revised Statutes requires a certificate for plumbers working in cities or towns of fifteen thousand or more inhabitants, and the chapter elsewhere recognizes licenses issued by any county or city operating under plumbing rules, so the office that issued one is a local office. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
