Definition
The MWC's decision to proceed with a water source or infrastructure change before adequate safety measures identified by Engineers A and B are in place
Properties
Instance of
PrematureSourceTransitionState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#PrematureSourceTransitionState
Active period
From the MWC's decision to proceed without implementing the engineers' recommendations through implementation of adequate safeguards or regulatory intervention
Affected parties
Engineer A
Engineer B
Municipal Water Commission
Public served by the water system
Confidence
0.82
Principle Transformation
Transforms the general duty to protect public health and safety into a concrete obligation to object, document, and report when a utility proceeds with a supply change that creates foreseeable lead leaching risk in the distribution system.
Subject
The MWC's decision to proceed with a water source or infrastructure change before adequate safety measures identified by Engineers A and B are in place
Terminated by
Implementation of required safety measures or regulatory enforcement action
Triggering event
MWC voted to proceed with plans despite engineers' safety findings
Urgency level
