Title
Consider adopting Ordinance No. 3409 adopting the 2015 International Plumbing Code as amended; and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City has been and is currently using the 2012 International Plumbing Code since March of 2014. Model construction codes such as the IPC are updated and re-published on a three-year cycle. Staff is recommending updating to the most current edition, the 2015 International Plumbing Code. Some notable changes to the 2015 IPC are not requiring public toilet facilities in occupancies that have limited areas for public access and not requiring a primer to drain, waste and vent PVC connections four inches and smaller before applying cement. Currently, all of our neighboring municipalities have adopted and are enforcing the 2015 IPC with the exception of the City of Coppell and the Town of Addison.
