Council adopts ordinance updating lead-free plumbing standards to match state guidance
Summary
Council voted to repeal and replace Section 48-38 of the city code to adopt updated lead-free standards consistent with Missouri Department of Natural Resources requirements; staff said the change clarifies language and definitions without imposing new homeowner requirements.
The council unanimously adopted Bill 26-28, an ordinance repealing and replacing Section 48-38 of the Pleasant Hill municipal code to align the city’s lead-free plumbing language with Missouri Department of Natural Resources standards.
A staff presenter explained the triennial DNR review of the water-distribution system led to recommended ordinance language updates: "Basically, all it does is just improve some of the language, some of the definitions," the presenter said, and added that the changes do not impose new homeowner requirements. After a motion and second, the council took a roll-call vote and the ordinance passed.
