This year’s conference will prove to be importance to UPC and UMC Codes.

Deadline to give recommendations set for early 2019.

When involved in a collaborative, international health care project, it is best to set aside what you know and open your mind to how other parts of the world treat their drinking water. Take what you have learned and evaluate it to see if the processes can be applied elsewhere.

Safe drinking water is a precious commodity. Yet there are no universally recognized and accepted international standards for drinking water. Even where standards do exist and are applied, the number, types and permitted concentrations of contaminants covered may vary significantly from one standard to another.

A look at some of the technical changes and clarifications in the soon-to-be-published, updated standard.

This chance to read the proposals comes right before IAMPO’s Conference.

Cities and states continue to decide what standard — Article 12C, Title 22 and NSF 350 — will work best for its residents. Regardless of the successes that these standards have thus far enjoyed, the goal should still be to create a single, standardized platform through which industry (and the public) can better understand the requirements imposed on them, as well as the potential risks of any onsite wastewater reuse system.

Plenty of key provisions have been made to the 2018 USHGC and USPSHTC.
