Definition
Confirmed risk of lead leaching above drinking water standards due to proceeding with source change before corrosion control improvements
Properties
Instance of
ConfirmedRiskWithoutAdequateSafeguardsState
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ConfirmedRiskWithoutAdequateSafeguardsState
Active period
From the MWC vote to proceed through completion of required improvements
Affected parties
Engineer A
Engineer B
MWC
Public water consumers
Confidence
0.91
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
Confirmed risk of lead leaching above drinking water standards due to proceeding with source change before corrosion control improvements
Terminated by
Completion of adequate corrosion control measures or reversal of source change decision
Triggering event
Engineer B's report confirming that corrosion control improvements are required before source change, combined with MWC's decision to proceed without completing those improvements
Urgency level
high
Match Confidence
0.95

Text references
Engineer B, a consulting engineer retained by the MWC charged with evaluating water treatment needs for the change in water source, provided a report to Engineer A recommending extensive capital investments and a three-year timeline for further evaluation of water quality, design, and construction of improvements.
The improvements are needed prior to the change in water source to ensure that sufficient corrosion control is provided so that old service pipes in the MWC service area don't leach lead at levels in excess of drinking water standards.
