a. To ban the use of lead materials in the public drinking water system
and private plumbing connected to the public drinking water system;
and
b. To protect City residents from lead contamination in the City's public

3. Policy. This Section 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 judgement 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

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.
