B.
Application. This Article shall apply to all premises served
by the public drinking water system of the City of Knob Noster, Missouri.
C.
Policy. This Article will be reasonably interpreted by the
water purveyor. It is the purveyor's intent to ban the use of lead-based
material in the construction or modification of the City's drinking
water system or private plumbing connected to the City system. The
cooperation of all consumers is required to implement the lead ban.
If, in the judgment of the water purveyor or his/her authorized
representative, lead-based materials have been used in new construction
or modifications after January 1, 1989, due notice shall be given
to the consumer. The consumer shall immediately comply by having the
lead-based materials removed from the plumbing system and replaced
with lead-free materials. If the lead-based materials are not removed
from the plumbing system, the water purveyor shall have the right
to discontinue water service to the premises.

The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation
and enforcement of this Article:
The owner or person in control of any premises supplied by
or in any manner connected to a public water system.
Pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, or fixtures, including

Any material containing lead in excess of the quantities
specified in the definition of "LEAD FREE" below.
Calculation. The weighted average lead content of a pipe, pipe
fitting, plumbing fitting, or fixture shall be calculated by using
the following formula: For each wetted component, the percentage of
lead in the component shall be multiplied by the ratio of the wetted
surface area of that component to the total wetted surface area of
the entire product to arrive at the weighted percentage of lead of
the component. The weighted percentage of lead of each wetted component
shall be added together, and the sum of these weighted percentages
shall constitute the weighted average lead content of the product.
The lead content of the material used to produce wetted components
shall be used to determine compliance with the definition of "LEAD-BASED
MATERIALS." For lead content of materials that are provided as a range,
the maximum content of the range shall be used.
