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

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.
