The 2022 editions of the California Plumbing Code and California Mechanical Code have been formally released.

More than 1.57 million Americans live without a toilet or tap at home, costing the U.S. economy $8.58 billion every year, according to a report produced by DigDeep with contributions from partners including IAPMO.

This document is a direct extract from Appendix M of the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), which was developed via an ANSI-accredited development process.

The rebrand signifies the next phase of the organization's growth as a third-party management system certification body.

IAPMO recently completed technical committee meetings toward the proposed 2024 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC).

The new action plans will assist communities in becoming more resilient to extreme weather events, such as drought, and have broader access to affordable water and sanitation services.

On July 29, 2020, IAPMO and AWWA entered into a cooperative development agreement to produce a manual of recommended practices to support safe and effective water efficiency and water quality provisions for the built environment.

IAPMO is seeking volunteers, with technical background in plumbing systems and specific knowledge of district ambient temperature loop (ATL) distributed energy systems and geothermal related low-temperature distribution systems.

A focus of this year's event was on resources communities require to build safe and resilient plumbing systems as well as meet the growing list of challenges to America's drinking water.

Changes approved at the August hearing will appear in the 2024 NSPC.
