IAPMO Seeks Input on Manual of Recommended Construction Practices for Potable Water

The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials and the Medical Gas Resiliency Task Group are seeking the public’s initial input for development of the Manual of Recommended Construction Practices for Potable Water.

This manual provides education and guidance to help reduce the likelihood of contaminating plumbing systems during construction. If unmanaged, construction and commissioning activities contribute to the growth and spread of opportunistic premise plumbing pathogens in potable and non-potable building water systems. It also includes a bonus water quality manual produced by ESPRI/IAPMO.

The IAPMO manual may be downloaded for free at: iapmo.org/media/32180/construction-practices-for-potable-water-manual-public-review.pdf.
