Ontario, Calif. (May 10, 2019) — The International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) is seeking applicants to serve as technical experts on Water Efficiency and Sanitation Standard (WE•Stand) task groups.

The WE•Stand Technical Committee is seeking special subject matter experts to join the following task groups:
1. Alternate Water Sources Task Group
The scope of this task group is to further develop the provisions in proposal items 051 and 052 for on-site blackwater and stormwater treatment systems. The focus is to enhance design detail that includes monitoring techniques, fail-safe mechanisms, alarm requirements, types of disinfection, acceptance testing, and performance criteria. The task group will also investigate and compare a risk-based approach with a water-quality approach.

2. Water Efficiency and Conservation Task Group
The scope of this task group is to compare the performance paths in WERS Index and HERS H2O with the prescriptive path in WE•Stand.

Each task group’s objective is to develop recommendations for the WE•Stand Technical Committee to consider. Those interested in participating on the WE•Stand task groups may apply by clicking here. The deadline to apply is June 3, 2019. Interested individuals may also contact Maria Bazan at (708) 995-3007 or by email at maria.bazan@iapmo.org.
