How the Building Codes can Save our Sewers
Don’t miss this lively and engaging presentation on all things sewer, both private and public side. Barbara, who has been studying the building codes for years, will discuss the myriad of ways in which building officials, inspectors, etc., can use the Code to achieve best practices in the installation, inspection, testing and acceptance of the Sanitary Building Sewer, to reduce the risk of groundwater leaking into our public sewer systems. She will also introduce her latest research into inadvertent gaps in the Codes (to wit – women’s toilet stalls do not contain sinks or trash cans) that are wreaking havoc with our public sewer systems and the environment. Hear about her efforts with municipal, provincial, and the federal government, to address climate change effortlessly by building better sewers, better.
