MN Considering adopting 2018 UPC

January 25, 2019by Kevin Egilmez

The Ad Hoc Code Review and Rulemaking Committee of the Minnesota Plumbing Board is reviewing the 2018 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) and proposed amendments for possible adoption as the Minnesota Plumbing Code.

The current Minnesota Plumbing Code incorporates and adopts the 2012 UPC with amendments. The Plumbing Board has not decided whether to move forward with adopting the 2018 UPC with amendments. The Ad Hoc Committee will complete its review of the 2018 UPC and make a recommendation to the Plumbing Board about the 2018 UPC and any recommended modifications to it.
