Common use of Prohibition on Partial Service Line Replacements Clause in Contracts

Prohibition on Partial Service Line Replacements. Because partial lead service line replacement is frequently associated with short-term elevated lead levels in drinking water, if the City discovers that the entire length of a service line (from the main line to the curb box to the household water meter) is composed of lead or galvanized steel or a combination thereof, but the property owner refuses to grant the City permission to replace the portion of the service line lying beneath private property, the City shall not replace any portion of the service line. The City shall maintain a list of such households where a lead or galvanized steel service line is discovered but not replaced, and shall record the known existence of a lead or galvanized steel service line in the City records for each such household.
