7 | Sec. 14.7. Preservation of community water supplies. | ||||||
8 | (a) The Agency shall adopt rules governing certain | ||||||
9 | corrosion prevention projects carried out on community water | ||||||
10 | supplies. Those rules shall not apply to buried pipelines | ||||||
11 | including, but not limited to, pipes, mains, and joints. The | ||||||
12 | rules shall exclude routine maintenance activities of | ||||||
13 | community water supplies including, but not limited to, the use | ||||||
14 | of protective coatings applied by the owner's utility personnel | ||||||
15 | during the course of performing routine maintenance | ||||||
16 | activities. The activities may include, but not be limited to, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the painting of fire hydrants; routine over-coat painting of | ||||||
2 | interior and exterior building surfaces such as floors, doors, | ||||||
3 | windows, and ceilings; and routine touch-up and over-coat | ||||||
4 | application of protective coatings typically found on water | ||||||
5 | utility pumps, pipes, tanks, and other water treatment plant | ||||||
6 | appurtenances and utility owned structures. Those rules shall | ||||||
7 | include: | ||||||
8 | (1) standards for ensuring that community water | ||||||
9 | supplies carry out corrosion prevention and mitigation | ||||||
10 | methods according to corrosion prevention industry | ||||||
11 | standards adopted by the Agency; | ||||||
12 | (2) requirements that community water supplies use: | ||||||
13 | (A) protective coatings personnel to carry out | ||||||
14 | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods on exposed | ||||||
15 | water treatment tanks, exposed non-concrete water | ||||||
16 | treatment structures, exposed water treatment pipe | ||||||
17 | galleys; exposed pumps; and generators; the Agency | ||||||
18 | shall not limit to protective coatings personnel any | ||||||
19 | other work relating to prevention and mitigation | ||||||
20 | methods on any other water treatment appurtenances | ||||||
21 | where protective coatings are utilized for corrosion | ||||||
22 | control and prevention to prolong the life of the water | ||||||
23 | utility asset; and | ||||||
24 | (B) inspectors to ensure that best practices and | ||||||
25 | standards are adhered to on each corrosion prevention | ||||||
26 | project; and |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (3) standards to prevent environmental degradation | ||||||
2 | that might occur as a result of carrying out corrosion | ||||||
3 | prevention and mitigation methods including, but not | ||||||
4 | limited to, standards to prevent the improper handling and | ||||||
5 | containment of hazardous materials, especially lead paint, | ||||||
6 | removed from the exterior of a community water supply. | ||||||
7 | In adopting rules under this subsection (a), the Agency
| ||||||
8 | shall obtain input from corrosion industry experts
| ||||||
9 | specializing in the training of personnel to
carry out | ||||||
10 | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods. | ||||||
11 | (b) As used in this Section: | ||||||
12 | "Community water supply" has the meaning ascribed to that
| ||||||
13 | term in Section 3.145 of this Act. | ||||||
14 | "Corrosion" means a naturally occurring phenomenon
| ||||||
15 | commonly defined as the deterioration of a metal that results | ||||||
16 | from a chemical or electrochemical reaction
with its | ||||||
17 | environment. | ||||||
18 | "Corrosion prevention and mitigation methods" means: | ||||||
19 | the preparation, application, installation,
removal, | ||||||
20 | or general maintenance as necessary of a
protective coating | ||||||
21 | system, including any or more of the
following: | ||||||
22 | (A) surface preparation and coating application on
| ||||||
23 | the exterior or interior of a community water supply; | ||||||
24 | or | ||||||
25 | (B) shop painting of structural steel fabricated
| ||||||
26 | for installation as part of a community water supply. |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | "Corrosion prevention project" means carrying out
| ||||||
2 | corrosion prevention and mitigation methods. "Corrosion | ||||||
3 | prevention project" does not include clean-up related to | ||||||
