Menasco, City Manager Pasco City Hall Pasco, Washington Re: Uniform Plumbing Code Dear Mr. Menasco: The present plumbing code adopted by the City is the National Plumbing Code, 1955 edition, published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. This code is outmoded as it hasn't been revised in the past 14 years and there is no present thought to revision. The Uniform Plumbing Code, 1967 edition, published by the International - Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials, is in national use, has been adopted (formerly the Western Plumbing Code) by several states as a State Code. It is revised and updated every three -years and is more easily understood by those using it. This organization also conducts tests on new materials and their installations and sends notices to sub- scribers as to their recommended use. This code has been adopted by the cities of Kennewick and Richland within the past year, and they feel that it is more beneficial to the code enforcement program than the National Code. The fee schedule contained in this edition should be changed to utilize the cost value type schedule as set forth in the Uniform Building Code:. This would be in keeping with changes in permit fees for all work regu- lated by City Code to the use of the U.B.C. fee schedule. All gas piping would be deleted from this code as it is covered in the gas code which utilizes standards published by ASA (American Standards Associa- tion). Swimming pools are.also deleted as they are regulated more thoroughly under a separate code being proposed to the Council. Sincerely, aee� (:Z - Lyle E.
