[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Meeting of the Town of South
Hadley as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 5-9-2018 ATM
by Art. 11]
The Town creates a General Bylaw to allow the testing of water
in public buildings and other municipal facilities for the presence
of lead and copper. The appliances and systems tested should be those
which could likely and/or reasonably present a health consequence
for the public.
A report of all testing should be available on the Town of South
Hadley website and a copy posted in each building participating in
said test.
This testing should be overseen, and regulations promulgated,
by the South Hadley Board of Health and be consistent with the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection, and as further expressed in
Appendix B.[1]
[1]
Editor's Note: Appendix B is included as an attachment to this chapter.
The Health Director may subsequently instruct the municipal
agent in control of a building or facility which does not meet the
health and safety standards for lead and copper to expand testing
to additional outlets or appliances and to take action forthwith to
mitigate the exposure to the public.
