Glasgow Polyethylene Pipe with Proper Fittings Is Permitted ordinance (§ 700.070)

A. Any water customer wanting to connect to a City water main for water service shall between the customer's water meter and the City's water main install no less than three-fourth-inch copper or three-fourth-inch two hundred (200) PSI polyethylene pipe with stainless steel inserts and brass fitting at each connection. Use of plastic water pipe of a lower grade or type or without proper fittings for the whole or any portion of the water line between the customer's meter and the water main is prohibited.

B. With each installation tracer wire shall be laid beside the water pipe. If other agencies such as Missouri Department of Transportation require copper tubing, sleeving or make other requirements to permit the water pipe to be placed under a State or county road, the customer must still comply with those requirements. In addition, if the City determines that sleeving of the polyethylene pipe with Schedule 40 PVC pipe is necessary to prevent crushing in rocky terrain, the customer shall be required to comply.

C. Violations of this Section shall be punishable as set forth in Section 100.220 of the City Code. In addition, the customer, whether the original violator or subsequent purchaser, shall be liable for replacement of installations not consistent with this Section of the City Code or the City Code Section in effect at the time of installation.
