What is the maximum leakage rate defined for slight weeping?

The maximum leakage rate defined for slight weeping is indeed 1 fluid ounce per hour. This classification is based on established guidelines that categorize leakage rates in terms of severity. "Slight weeping" signifies a minor level of leakage that, while noteworthy, does not suggest a significant structural problem or risk. By defining the threshold at 1 fluid ounce per hour, it provides a clear benchmark for technicians to assess and monitor water well systems effectively. This standard helps ensure consistency in inspections and maintenance practices across various well sites, allowing technicians to identify when a closer investigation or remedial action may be needed.
