Employment Opportunities   Comm 83 poised to go into effect Revisions to Comm 83, the Private Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (POWTS) code, could go into effect in June or July, 2000. That is the estimate of Safety and Buildings Division staff after the final draft code passed review by two state legislative committees, and was formally adopted by the Secretary of the Department of Safety and Professional Services, Brenda Blanchard. Sent to the committees after several years of hearings and discussions, the final draft reflected input about earlier drafts from the public, code administrators, and legislators. The code will be sent to the state Revisor of Statutes for legal printing and publishing. After printing, the code has a two-month delay before going into effect. There have been threats of lawsuits to stop implementation of the code. As the first major changes of Comm 83 in almost two decades, the revisions address current health and safety issues and priorities, and reflect changing technologies, methods, and materials. The new code would notably cover use of modern POWTS technologies that previously had not been available to owners of new construction. For the purposes of local training, planning, and administration, until January 1, 2003 counties may control by ordinance use of some of these technologies for new construction. All the technologies will be available for use as replacement systems. Localities will continue oversight of holding tanks. The code does not specifically dictate as many installation mandates as in the past. Instead, the revised code allows owners and designers varying methods for treating wastewater in relation to individual site circumstances. Maintenance of systems is a major aspect of assuring health and safety. People will be able to obtain a new credential to provide required monitoring and maintenance services for POWTS. S&B is preparing training in the new code provisions. As it is available, more information will be printed in the WPCR and be posted on the S&B WebStite. That training will provide continuing education credits for many plumbing categories. The final draft code now is posted on the S&B WebSite, http://www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB-HomePage.html (PDF, 308 KB). The date of availability of printed copies of the new code is uncertain. The printed copies will be announced in the WPCR and on the WebSite. Technical questions on the code can be directed to Roman Kaminski, S&B POWTS Program Manager, 715 345-5334, rkaminski@commerce.state.wi.us, or Jim Quast, Credentialing Program Manager, 608-266-9292, jquast@commerce.state.wi.us.   Revisions more clearly define combination plumbing/sprinkler systems, also make license code changes A very important code change package involving combination fire sprinkler/plumbing systems in one- and two-family dwellings has been adopted by Department of Safety and Professional Services Secretary, Brenda Blanchard. The code revisions more clearly define combination systems as plumbing, meaning licensed plumbers must do the installation and maintenance work. Standards are specified for the systems when they are voluntarily installed by homeowners. Fire sprinkler systems are not mandated in one- and two-family dwellings. The revisions to Comm 82, the Plumbing Code, and Comm 84, the Plumbing Products Code, passed review by legislative oversight committees. The effective date could be this spring, in May or June, after the legal process of printing and publishing. The revision package also makes changes to Comm 5, the Credentialing Code, replacing the word "credential" with "license, certification, or registration," or with the specific word "license," "certification," or "registration," as applicable. There are also Comm 5 changes relating to fire sprinkler licenses. Under the current rules, any individual may apply for and take the license examination for an automatic fire sprinkler contractor. However, someone who wishes to take the license exam for a journeyman automatic fire sprinkler fitter must first have completed a sprinkler system apprenticeship. The new rules contain specific training and experience qualifications for individuals applying for the automatic fire sprinkler contractor license. The new rules also specify the hours of continuing education required for renewal of automatic fire sprinkler contractor licenses, journeyman automatic fire sprinkler fitter licenses, and automatic fire sprinkler contractor-maintenance registrations. In accordance with new state laws, the new rules set requirements when an applicant or licensee does not provide required information, is delinquent in required payments, or fails to comply with a subpoena or warrant. The person must provide their social security number or federal employer identification number. The person must not be delinquent in tax payments or child support payments. And the person must not have failed to comply with a subpoena or warrant issued by the state Department of Workforce Development or a county child support agency relating to paternity or child support proceedings.   Event Calendar Contact the listed Code Consultant for information on the meetings agenda, locations, etc. If you have questions concerning technicalities of codes which are subjects of the meetings, contact consultants and reviewers listed on page 2 of this WPCR.

Plumbing installations involving 11 or more plumbing fixtures currently must be submitted to the Safety and Buildings Division or an agent municipality for review and approval.* Table 82.30-1 lists a few specific fixtures. Examples of plumbing fixtures not mentioned in Table 82.30-1, but which are included in counting fixtures to decide if a review is needed: sinks, tubs, floor drains, hose bibbs, sill cocks, wall hydrants, roof drains, exterior and interior storm water inlets, water heaters, or garage catch basins. Most any device connected to the sanitary, potable water distribution, or storm water drainage systems in a public building is a fixture. On the other hand, installation of some types of plumbing fixtures or systems must be submitted for review regardless of the number of plumbing fixtures involved. Those fixtures or systems, such as grease interceptors for public buildings, or private interceptor main sewers, are specifically listed in table 82.20-2. For more information, contact any of the plumbing plan reviewers or consultants listed on page 2 of the printed WPCR or use the Contacts link above left. *Note that a fee change proposal being considered by S&B includes raising the review threshold to 16 fixtures. See last month's WPCR.   Pedestal shampoo bowls and circular wash fountains can be installed with greater vertical distances from the trap line Circular wash fountains and pedestal shampoo bowls may be installed with a maximum vertical distance of 36 inches to the center of the trap outlet. Because of the construction of these fixtures, the 36 inch vertical distance exception is necessary to allow their installation as a pedestal fixture. Comm 82.32(4)(b)1 contains requirements for the vertical distance from fixture or drain inlets to the horizontal center line of the trap outlet. This code section states that the maximum vertical distance from the fixture drain outlet to the center of the trap outlet is 15 inches, with a few exceptions. One of the exceptions is for floor drains and standpipe receptors: "The vertical distance between the top of the strainer of a floor drain or the opening of a standpipe receptor and the horizontal center line of the trap outlet shall not exceed 36 inches" If you have questions regarding the installation of the pedestal shampoo bowl or the circular wash fountain, contact Curt Wendorff at 715-526-9056 or cwendorff@commerce.state.wi.us.   RP valves don't magically change potable water to nonpotable by Jim Wehinger, S&B Plumbing Consultant, jwehinger@commerce.state.wi.us, 608-339-7430 Recent inquiries to the Safety and Buildings Division asked when and how to label piping downstream of a backflow preventer such as a reduced pressure principle backflow preventer (RP). If you are confused, you are not alone. There is a misconception about this issue. The misconception is; "Anytime a RP is installed in a piping system, the downstream piping must be labeled as "Nonpotable." That's not correct. The RP in itself does not miraculously change the downstream water from potable to nonpotable. The purpose of a RP is to stop the unwanted reverse flow in a piping system. The materials used in the construction of the piping system, and what the water is actually being used for, determine whether the water is potable or nonpotable. For example, a piping system installed to provide potable water to plumbing fixtures or appliances, and having individual protection at each point of use, would comply with the code as a potable water piping system. The installation of a RP in this system in advance of the connection of any fixture or appliance would change nothing; the use remains potable. An RP can be installed as a containment assembly, in addition to the required isolation backflow protection at each point of use. It is sort of an insurance policy or back-up to the isolation. The RP for this type of installation should be labeled "FOR CONTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY" to indicate its use on a potable system, and hopefully to help prevent mistaken nonpotable connections downstream. Comm 82.41(3) requires "Isolation," or individual protection of the potable water supply at each point of use for each fixture, each piece of equipment, or each appliance requiring potable water. As the designer or installer, you may chose to use containment in addition to isolation for a particular piping system. However, the choice of labeling would not change to nonpotable because of the containment installation of an RP. Remember, the code requires that plumbing fixtures and appliances be provided with only potable water. Note: Comm 82.41(3)(c) requires containment in addition to isolation only for waste water treatment plants and marinas. A single RP installed to serve multiple outlets not requiring potable water would be a nonpotable piping system. A nonpotable piping system could supply water to things such as seal lubricating water on raw sewage pumps, or boilers for heat. Looking at other code requirements, in part: Comm 82.40(3)(a) Potable water required. Every piece of equipment used in the preparation or processing of food, medical or pharmaceutical products ,and every plumbing fixture and appliance which demands a supply of water, shall be provided with only potable water. Comm 82.40(3)(d), Identification. 1. Where a building or a structure is served by a nonpotable water distribution system and a potable water distribution system, each distribution shall be identified in accordance with this subdivision. a. All above ground piping supplying nonpotable water shall be identified nonpotable by tags or yellow bands. The yellow bands shall be at least 3 inches wide. b. All above ground piping supplying potable water shall be identified by tags or green bands. The green bands shall be at least 3 inches wide. To summarize: 1. Every plumbing fixture and appliance shall be provided with only potable water, 2. If a building or structure has multiple piping systems, one which carries nonpotable water, and one which carries potable water, each piping system shall be identified (labeled) as either nonpotable or potable.

3. Each plumbing fixture, each piece of equipment, and each appliance shall be provided with a means of individual backflow protection (isolation).
4. A means of backflow protection shall be provided for each nonpotable piping system (containment).

  Some POWTS systems may be under scrutiny as injection wells by Roman Kaminski, S&B POWTS Program Manager, rkaminski@commerce.state.wi.us, 715-345-5334 Class V injection wells are typically shallow disposal systems that are used to place a variety of fluids below ground surface. Injection wells are regulated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and the states, through what is known as the Underground Injection Control (UIC) program. Recently, the EPA issued new regulatory requirements intended to protect public health and the environment by eliminating or reducing injection of wastes from large capacity cesspools and motor vehicle waste disposal wells. Large-capacity Cesspools - New cesspools are prohibited nationwide as of April 2000. - Existing cesspools will be phased out nationwide by April 2005. Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Wells - New wells are prohibited nationwide as of April 2000. - Existing wells in regulated areas will be phased out, but owners and operators will be able to seek a waiver and obtain a permit. Staff of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources indicate they are not aware of any "large-capacity cesspool" installations. However, there are quite a few service stations, garages, and other facilities that are served by onsite sewage systems that may meet the definition of a "Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Well." DNR staff further indicate that in the near future they will develop and present guidance regarding this issue. Anyone who is considering installing a new or replacement onsite sewage system that could be classified as a Motor Vehicle Waste Disposal Well should contact the DNR early in their planning process about what type of onsite sewage system would be acceptable for their facility. For example, depending on the type of wastewater being generated in a service station, garage, or even a town hall that has a storage facility for town mechanical equipment, it may be necessary to segregate the waste stream. The "domestic wastewater" could be routed to a traditional soil-based sewage disposal system while the "non-domestic wastewater" (from the garage area) may have to be routed to a holding tank system. The federal regulations that cover Class V Injection Wells are available on the EPA's website at www.epa.gov/safewater/uic.html#classv. I will provide updates in future WPCR issues.   More information available from new division home page More information is now available on the Internet from the Safety and Buildings Division's new Home Page, http://www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB-HomePage.html.

Does the new pump require an equipment-grounding conductor? If so, where should the equipment ground be connected if the branch circuit cable does not have an equipment-grounding conductor? Yes to the first question. See NEC 250-112(l). The second answer: the new cable should have an equipment-grounding conductor connected to the pump. If the branch circuit cable has an equipment-grounding conductor, connect the two together inside the well cap. Use a bonding jumper to connect the well casing to the two equipment grounds. If the branch circuit cable does not have an equipment ground, do not connect the pump-grounding conductor to the casing. Tape it off inside the well head for future connection when branch circuit conductors are replaced. March 2000 is the time to be aware of the status of   pumbing licenses Safety and Buildings Division staff have noticed a considerably higher number of plumbing license requests for petitions for late renewal, late continuing education, and or reexamination, compared to requests from other license categories. Some of these requests came from people who worked more than a year without realizing their license expired. To heighten awareness of having current credentials, S&B is asking the plumbing industry in general to pay extreme attention during the month of March to assuring all submitted plans, requests for permits, and installations are done by properly-licensed people. Check your card first. Many plumbing licenses expire March 31. Are all your licenses current? Are some nearing expiration? Do you still need more continuing ed credits. Have you seen a renewal application. Ask people you work with. Do they all have the proper license to do the work assigned, work for which a Master is ultimately legally responsible? It is not only the law, but also good business practice to only hire properly-licensed staff, for more assurance of work done correctly. Employers and employees need to think about liabilities and legal action for license violation, poor work, or lien problems. Plan reviewers and inspectors will make special efforts in March to check the status of credentials on projects they encounter. Check people around you. To meet daily customer requests for credential status information (and cut down on the number of phone calls S&B receives) has lists of people with current plumbing credentials on the S&B WebSite, either from The Plumbing Program Page, http://www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB-Plumbing Program.html, The POWTS Program Page, http://www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB-POWTS Program.html, The Credential Program Page, http://www.commerce.state.wi.us/SB/SB-Credential Program.html, Or, directly, http://www.commerce.state. wi.us/SB/SB-PlumbingPowtsCredentialList.html. The lists will be updated after monthly exams are graded and new credentials issued. Since S&B issues new licenses each work day, WebSite lists may not be complete at all times.
