A.
Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is:
B.
Application.
This Chapter shall apply to all premises served by the public drinking
water system of the City of St. Robert.
C.
Policy.
This Chapter will be reasonably interpreted by the Water Purveyor.
It is the purveyor's intent to ban 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.
[Ord. No. 2599 §2, 2-4-2013; Ord. No. 3225, 4-3-2018]
The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation
and enforcement of this Chapter:
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
backflow preventers, that are used exclusively for non-potable services
such as manufacturing, industrial processing, irrigation, outdoor
watering, or any other uses where the water is not anticipated to
be used for human consumption; or
Toilets, bidets, urinals, fill valves, flush-o-meter valves,
tub fillers, shower valves, service saddles, or water distribution
main gate valves that are two (2) inches in diameter or larger.
Any material containing lead in excess of the quantities
specified in the definition of "LEAD FREE".
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 paragraph (2) in the definition of "LEAD
FREE." For lead content of materials that are provided as a range,
the maximum content of the range shall be used.
Any publicly or privately-owned water system supplying water
to the general public which is satisfactory for drinking, culinary
and domestic purposes and meets the requirements of the Missouri Department
of Natural Resources.
The owner, operator, or individual in responsible charge
of a public water system.
