We will soon be populating this page with all the helpful and important memos that are put together for the chapter by our VP Legislative. This role has been handled by Manuel B. Garcia, PE, CPD for the last couple terms, and he has been doing an exemplary job keeping the chapter abreast of the goings on at the local level.
Manny has been doing a fantastic job, and as those of you who receive the newsletter know, there is typically and insert in each newletter from the VP Legislative with an update on some kind of code change, interpretation, or emergency moratorium from the state plumbing board.
Many of us have taken these memos from the newsletter and started created our own personal files, and some have begun scanning them and creating a cache of them on our local servers so that our respective plumbing departments can access them. We have decided to take this a step further for you, and make them all available online.
The most recent memo can be found here, and an archive shall be created to allow for members to access and print out past memos. These however, will only be accessible in the members only section of this website. Please check back as we expand on this and other sections to provide the widest selection of plumbing engineering related data that we can.
