Living in Lithium, MO: what to set up and who to call

Lithium has no town government of its own, so Perry County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Perry County 32 School District. Tap water in Lithium comes from Perry County Pwsd 2, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 22% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Lithium has no town government. It’s a census-designated place in Perry County, so the county and regional agencies provide most services. This page answers what we can; the same answers appear on Lithium’s town page under “Getting set up”.
