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 Rogersville, Missouri.
C.
Policy. 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.

lead-based materials have been used in new construction or modifications
after June 19, 1988, due notice shall be given to the consumer. The
consumer shall immediately comply by having 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.
