IAPMO Seeks WE•Stand Direct Potable Water Reuse Task Group Members
Ontario, Calif. — The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO®) is seeking applicants to serve as technical experts on the Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand) Direct Potable Water Reuse Task Group.
The scope of the Direct Potable Water Reuse Task Group is to review all proposals pertaining to onsite wastewater treatment for direct potable water reuse (DPR) as published in the 2022 WE•Stand Report on Proposals (ROP) and develop public comments for technical committee consideration.
Task group members will participate via conference call or web meeting, provide their perspective on the code, and assist in drafting recommendations for action by the WE•Stand Technical Committee. Applicants are not required to be members of the WE•Stand Technical Committee.
Those interested in participating on a WE•Stand task group may apply HERE
The deadline to apply is Oct. 14.
Developed and subsequently republished at the conclusion of each three-year code cycle, the WE•Stand is designed to provide progressive codified requirements to optimize water use practices attributed to the built environment while maintaining protection of the public health, safety, and welfare.
Interested individuals may also contact Taylor Duran at (909) 218-8126 or by email at taylor.duran@iapmo.org.
Conservation is Not Deprivation
In a recent Green Fire Times op-ed, Christoph Lohr, P.E., IAPMO vice president of technical services and research, makes the case that New Mexico is well-positioned to become a national leader in building-level water conservation. Lohr highlights Santa Fe’s proven conservation success, the state’s long-term water challenges, and the need for practical code solutions that help buildings reduce water demand while protecting public health.
