Application. This ordinance shall apply to all premises served by
the public drinking water system of the City of Moscow Mills.

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 judgement of the water purveyor or his 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 base materials
removed from the plumbing system and replaced with lead free materials.
If the lead base materials are not removed from the plumbing system,
the water purveyor shall have the right to discontinue water service
to the premises.
The following definitions shall apply in the interpretation
and enforcement of this ordinance.
The owner or person in control of any premises supplied by
or in any manner connected to a public water system.

such as manufacturing, industrial processing, irrigation, outdoor

be used for human consumption; or

[Amended 9-13-2021 by Ord. No. 974]
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 A2 of this definition.
For lead content of materials that are provided as a range, the maximum
content of the range shall be used.
Any publicly or privately owned water system supplying water
to the general public which is satisfactory for drinking, culinary
and domestic purposes and meets the requirements of the Missouri Department
