A. Purpose.
The purpose of this Chapter is:
1. To ban the use of lead materials in the public drinking water system
and private plumbing connected to the public drinking water system;
and
2. To protect City residents from lead contamination in the City's public
drinking water system and their own private plumbing systems.
B. Application.
This Chapter shall apply to all premises served by the public drinking
water system of the City of Plattsburg, Missouri.
C. Policy.
This Chapter 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.
D. If,
in the judgement of the Water Purveyor or his/her authorized representative,
there is evidence that materials containing greater than eight percent
(8%) lead have been used in new construction or modifications after
January 1, 1989, or evidence that materials containing greater than
twenty-five hundredths of one percent (0.25%) lead have been used
in new construction or modifications after January 4, 2014, due notice
shall be given to the consumer. The consumer shall immediately comply
by having the lead base materials removed from the plumbing system
and replaced with lead free materials. If the lead base materials
are not removed from the plumbing system, the Water Purveyor shall
have the right to discontinue water service to the premises.
No water service connection shall be installed or maintained
to any premises where materials containing greater than eight percent
(8%) lead were used in new construction or modifications of the drinking
water plumbing between January 1, 1989, and January 4, 2014, or where
materials containing greater than twenty-five hundredths of one percent
(0.25%) lead were used in new construction or modifications of the
drinking water plumbing after January 4, 2014.
[Ord. No. 1376 §II, 10-12-1998; Ord.
No. 2416, 5-13-2021]
The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation
and enforcement of this Chapter:
CONSUMER
The owner or person in control of any premises supplied by
or in any manner connected to a public water system.
LEAD BASE MATERIALS
Any material containing lead in excess of the quantities
specified in the definition of "LEAD FREE."
LEAD FREE
Means:
1.
When used with respect to solder and flux, refers to solders
and flux containing not more than two-tenths of one percent (0.2%)
lead; and
2.
When used with respect to pipes and pipe fittings, refers to
pipes and pipe fittings containing not more than twenty-five hundredths
of one percent (0.25%) lead.
3.
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 paragraph (1) of this definition.
For lead content of materials that are provided as a range, the maximum
content of the range shall be used.

to the general public which is satisfactory for drinking, culinary
