{
  "id": "MLC-T-INS-003715",
  "term": "Point-of-use treatment device",
  "field": "Insurance and risk management",
  "definition": "A system that treats water at a single fixture, such as a kitchen sink faucet or a showerhead, rather than for the entire building. From a risk management perspective, these devices are installed to mitigate specific health or property risks associated with water contaminants not adequately removed by the municipal supply, like lead, chlorine, or certain pathogens. Liability for water quality can shift depending on whether the device is owned by the property owner or the tenant, a detail often specified in lease agreements.",
