VP Legislative Report By Paul Hellickson

October 2019 Hello Chapter members – CODE CHANGES On June 5

th, 2019 St. Louis County adopted the 2015 Uniform Plumbing Code with the local

amendments, they will become effective on October 1st, 2019.

For more information on effective dates and the permitting process go here: "Notice to Industry" Amendments to the 2015 UPC go here: St. Louis County Amendments As a reminder if you have any code related information that you think would be helpful to our chapter I would really appreciate you getting that to me. Did a code official require something on one of your projects that you might not have seen in the code before? Or did the AHJ interpret something in the code or amendments that you might have interpreted differently? This would all be helpful information and would help all of our chapter members to provide a better quality pro-ject.

That’s all I have for now.
