Municipal Client
C76
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
A public governing body responsible for overseeing a municipal water utility, making policy and infrastructure decisions on water supply sources and capital expenditures, and acting as the client and decision-making authority for professional engineering services retained by the utility, with the power to override technical recommendations made by its own engineers.
Inherited from MunicipalClient · note
A government or municipal entity that commissions professional engineering or construction services for public infrastructure projects, acting as the primary client and decision-maker but without professional engineering licensure.

Client Override of Safety Recommendation State
C76
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a governing body or client has been informed of professional safety recommendations and has explicitly voted or directed to proceed without implementing those recommendations, creating a direct tension between the client's authority over project scope and the professional's duty to protect public safety and comply with applicable regulatory standards.
Inherited from ClientOverrideofSafetyRecommendationState · note
State in which a client has been informed of a professional's safety recommendation and has explicitly directed the professional to proceed without implementing that recommendation, citing cost or other business constraints, creating a direct tension between the client's authority over project scope and the professional's duty to protect public safety and comply with applicable regulatory standards.

Premature Source Transition State
rdfs:subClassOf States
New C76
Definition
Extracted from facts primary
State in which a water or utility authority proceeds with a change in supply source before required treatment infrastructure, corrosion control measures, or quality safeguards have been designed, evaluated, or constructed, creating an active public health risk because the new source may deliver water through distribution infrastructure that is incompatible with the new source chemistry.
