[Ord. No. 264 §I, 7-12-2000; Ord. No. 451 §§I — II, 3-12-2014]

A. Purpose. The purpose of this Article is to:

1. Ban the use of lead materials in the public drinking water system and private plumbing connected to the public drinking water system; and

2. Protect City residents 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 Lake Waukomis, Missouri.

C. Policy.

1. 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.

2. If, in the judgment of the Water Purveyor or his authorized representatives, lead-based materials have been used in new construction or modifications after January 4, 2013, 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 from the plumbing system, the Water Purveyor shall have the right to discontinue water service to the premises.

Section 700.130 Definitions.

[Ord. No. 264 §II, 7-12-2000; Ord. No. 451 §§I — II, 3-12-2014]

The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation and enforcement of this ordinance:

CONSUMER

The owner or person in control of any premises supplied by or in any manner connected to a public water system.

LEAD-BASED MATERIALS

Any material containing lead in excess of the quantities specified in the definition of "lead free."

LEAD FREE

1. In General.

a. Not containing more than two tenths percent (0.2%) lead when used with respect to solder and flux; and

b. Not more than a weighted average of twenty-five hundredths percent (0.25%) lead when used with respect to the wetted surfaces of pipes, pipe fittings, plumbing fittings, and fixtures.

2. 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 Subsection (1)(b) of this definition. For lead content of materials that are provided as a range, the maximum content of the range shall be used.
