番茄社区 825 Private Sewage Disposal Systems Standard
The Code Council has opened a new standards project to develop 番茄社区 825, Private Sewage Disposal Systems.鈥疶his new standard will provide minimum requirements for designing, constructing, operating and maintaining private sewage disposal systems which include septic tank and effluent absorption systems, or other treatment tank and effluent disposal systems, where a public sewer is not available. Furthermore, the new standard will focus on the impacts of climate change, and how better to design and install such systems to be more resilient to extreme weather events.
This committee will take a global approach to develop minimum requirements and standards to safeguard the health, safety, general welfare of the public and address societal and industry challenges through designing, constructing, operating and maintaining private sewage disposals systems.
The Private Sewage Disposal Systems Standard Consensus Committee (IS-PSDS) committee, including stakeholders from the international community, was appointed by the Code Council Board of Directors in January 2023 in response to a call for committee which the code council posted in August 2022.
