The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®) and the Environmental Science, Policy, and Research Institute (ESPRI) are seeking the public’s initial input for development of the Manual of Water Quality for Plumbing Industry Professionals and Building Managers.
The publication provides basic guidance to help plumbing system design engineers, building owners, and water system managers obtain important information from their water suppliers to help them design, install, and manage potable water systems that maintain water quality all the way to the end users while simultaneously protecting the pipes, fittings, fixtures, and other components that make up these systems.
IAPMO encourages the industry to provide comments to the latest draft, which can be obtained on online here.
Parties can provide their comments to [email protected] by no later than July 17.
“We hope this guidance will assist the engineers, plumbers and operators working on the building side of the meter to better understand the water quality of their supply and how to control and monitor it,” said Dr. Tim Bartrand, ESPRI executive director. “Together, the water supply and building water communities can advance public health goals while improving the sustainability of building water systems. ESPRI is grateful to IAPMO for its partnership in developing this guidance and its efforts toward building a bridge between the water supply and building water communities.”
