Definition
Engineers A and B were prohibited from endorsing or facilitating the MWC's decision to proceed simultaneously with the water source change and the evaluation and design of corrosion control improvements, because that simultaneous approach was the specific course the engineers had identified as creating a confirmed public health risk, and the MWC's preference for it was grounded in the economic objective of reducing expenditures.
Properties
Instance of
ClientBudgetOverrideSafetyContinuationConstraint
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ClientBudgetOverrideSafetyContinuationConstraint
Case context
The MWC voted to proceed simultaneously rather than sequentially, directly contrary to the engineers' safety recommendation. The economic motivation for the simultaneous approach, reducing municipal expenditures and lowering water rates, meant that the MWC's override was budget-driven. The constraint prohibited the engineers from continuing to facilitate this approach.
Confidence
0.88

Despite those recommendations, the MWC voted to proceed simultaneously with the accelerated evaluation and design of needed water treatment improvements and the change in water source
In order to reduce municipal expenditures and lower water rates, the MWC has been considering changing its water supply source
