Fulton General policy ordinance (§ 18-144)

(a) Purpose. The purpose of this division is:

(1) To ban the use of lead materials in the public drinking water system and private plumbing connected to the public drinking water system; and

(2) To protect city residents from lead contamination in the city's public drinking water system and their own private plumbing systems.

(b) Application. This division shall apply to all premises served by the public drinking water system of the city.

(c) Policy. This division will be reasonably interpreted by the water purveyor. It is the purveyor's intent to ban use of lead based material in the construction or modification of the city's drinking water system or private plumbing connected to the city's system. The cooperation of all consumers is required to implement the lead ban.

If, in judgment of the water purveyor or his/her authorized representative, lead based materials have been used in new construction or modifications after January 4, 2014, 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 purvey shall have the right to discontinue water services to the premises.
