Committee forwards plumbing-code amendments adding local cross-connection controls and testing requirements
Summary
An ordinance deleting a local Plumbing Code amendment and adding local cross-connection controls for beverage dispensers and industrial chillers, plus testing requirements for backflow prevention assemblies, was advanced to the full Board after staff said the SFPUC and Department of Building Inspection are aligned.
The Land Use and Transportation Committee moved Jan. 27 to advance an ordinance that amends the City’s plumbing code to remove a local amendment that referenced San Francisco Public Utilities Commission rules, add local cross-connection controls for beverage dispensers and industrial water chillers, and require testing of backflow-prevention assemblies.
The clerk read the ordinance; no members of the public testified. Chair Aaron Peskin remarked that previous substantive amendments had required a continuance but that the PUC and the Department of Building Inspection are now communicating and the item could be sent forward. The committee closed public comment and, without objection, agreed to send the item to the full Board with recommendation.
The full Board will consider the ordinance at a future meeting.
