T Dear Mr Wood, DlSTtllCT GF DELAWARE
Thank you for taking the time to write the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services
‘ on August 2, 2005. Your letter has been forwarded to the Division of Public Health for a
response. You indicate within your letter that during the construction of dormitory 1, you were
ordered to use 50-50 solder on the main water lines for sinks, showers, and toilets and that you
believe that it is a clear violation ofthe Delaware Building Code because of lead content.
l asked our Health Systems Protection Section to review your concern since they are
responsible for the administration of the State Plumbing Code. They report that Section
· 605.15.4 of that code requires the use of lead free (less than .2%) solder on water lines.
Because the Howard R. Young Correctional institution is located in the City of Wilmington, I
have taken the liberty of forwarding your letter to Mr. Marvin Newton, Chief Plumbing Inspector,
of the City of Wilmington as they would be the correct agency to respond to your inquiry.
Once again, thank you for contacting the Division of Public H alth.
Si r ly,
J` . Rivera, MD, FAAP
