[Ord. No. 264 §I, 7-12-2000; Ord. No. 451 §§I — II, 3-12-2014]
A. Purpose. The purpose of this Article is to:
1.
Ban the use of lead materials in the public drinking water system
and private plumbing connected to the public drinking water system;
and
2.
Protect City residents from lead contamination in the City's
public drinking water system and their own private plumbing systems.
B. Application. This ordinance shall apply to all premises
served by the public drinking water system of the City of Lake Waukomis,
Missouri.
C. Policy.
1.
This ordinance 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.
2.
If, in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or his authorized
representatives, lead-based materials have been used in new construction
or modifications after January 4, 2013, 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.
[Ord. No. 264 §II, 7-12-2000; Ord. No. 451 §§I — II, 3-12-2014]
The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation
and enforcement of this ordinance:
CONSUMER
The owner or person in control of any premises supplied by
or in any manner connected to a public water system.
LEAD-BASED MATERIALS
Any material containing lead in excess of the quantities
specified in the definition of "lead free."
LEAD FREE
1.
In General.
a.
Not containing more than two tenths percent (0.2%) lead when
used with respect to solder and flux; and
b.
Not more than a weighted average of twenty-five hundredths percent
(0.25%) lead when used with respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes,
pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.
2.
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 Subsection
(1)(b) of this definition. For lead content of materials that are provided as a range, the maximum content of the range shall be used.
[Ord. No. 264 §III, 7-12-2000; Ord. No. 451 §§I — II, 3-12-2014]
No water service connection shall be installed or maintained
to any premises where lead-based materials were used in new construction
or modifications of the drinking water plumbing after January 4, 2013.
