The IPSDC is an innovative, efficient and effective private sewage disposal code that is fully correlated with the other International Codes® (I-Codes®). It includes provisions for the design, installation, and inspection of private sewage disposal systems, and provides flexibility in the development of safe systems. The IPSDC is adopted in 17 states across the U.S. and is also adopted in Puerto Rico and Guam. Approximately 131 million people, or 38% of the US population, live in areas that have adopted the IPSDC.
The IPSDC is a vital part of a complete building safety system for communities, individuals, and businesses needing their own onsite wastewater solutions. It is a companion to the IPC that provides minimum acceptable requirements for private sewage disposal systems in order to protect humans and the environment from insanitary conditions.
The I-Codes, when adopted as a family of codes, correlating as they do, provide a consistent system of regulations that designers, builders, and regulators can rely on, across city, county, or state lines.
The adoption of building codes, including the private sewage disposal code, is not just about the codes. Technical support, in the form of expert advice, code opinions, and technical resources are some of the most sought-after services following adoption of a code.
The Code Council’s expert technical staff provides advice, code opinions, and resources to our more than 70,000 members as a complimentary benefit.
We have several resources, including commentaries and study companions, to support our members and industry professionals in achieving a better understanding of the code and implementing inspection programs.
Numerous training resources are available on the IPSDC including face to face training and webinars which are led by qualified instructors and industry leaders.
The Code Council also has a world class digital platform where codes, industry standards and resources can be accessed from one’s computer, tablet, or phone.
The IPSDC is developed through a governmental consensus process
that involves many interest groups including public safety officials, plumbing contractors, manufacturers, standards development organizations, academia, consumers and many more;
cannot be influenced by vested financial interests;
and is conducted every three years.
The ISPSC is the most widely adopted swimming pool and spa code across the United States. The ISPSC is currently adopted in 33 states across the U.S. and is also adopted in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Approximately 246 million people, or 72% of the US population, live in areas that have adopted the ISPSC.
The ISPSC is a vital part of a complete building safety system, providing an integral component necessary to achieving a safe and healthy environment for users of swimming pools, spas, hot tubs and aquatic facilities.

Water Reuse in the 21st Century
Given an increasingly limited water supply, more jurisdictions across the U.S. are adopting onsite non-potable water systems (ONWS) to address water shortages.
Potable water from a public drinking water treatment plant is required to meet Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) standards. However, no national regulations exist for onsite non-potable water systems for reuse treatment, storage, and delivery.
Water Reuse Provisions in the I-Codes
The I-Codes address construction, installation, alteration, and repair of on-site non-potable water reuse systems, non-potable rainwater collection and distribution systems, and reclaimed water systems.
Generally speaking, these codes and standards, including the IPC, IRC, and CSA B805/ICC 805, address delivery and the quality of potable and non-potable water.
Water Reuse Working Group
The Code Council, in partnership with The National Blue Ribbon Commission for Onsite Non-potable Water Systems (NBRC), established a Water Reuse Working Group to explore opportunities to protect public health and better support jurisdictions seeking to advance water reuse opportunities. This diverse working group researched all aspects of onsite water reuse, developed a roadmap, and propose needed resources, including recommended updates to the 2027 International Plumbing Code and 2027 International Residential Code necessary to meet a jurisdictions’ water reuse goals such as risk-based water quality requirements based on application.
Water Conservation Provisions in the I-Codes
The International Water Conservation Code Provisions (IWCCP)® provides a comprehensive tool for the design, installation, and administration of potable and nonpotable water conservation and efficiency systems.
The IWCCP contains all the water conservation and hot water energy related provisions from the IPC, IRC, IgCC, IECC and related ICC standards. Adopting the 2021 IWCCP can result in significant long-term water savings.

Advancements in the Implementation of Hydrogen Fuel
Amongst global efforts to combat greenhouse gas emissions, hydrogen fuel has emerged as a viable solution in transitioning to a more sustainable and climate-friendly fuel source.
Because of its ability to be produced with zero or near-zero carbon emissions, many regions have begun investing in hydrogen technologies, which has further accelerated industry innovation and job opportunities on a global scale.
Accelerating Hydrogen Fuel Deployment Through H2Hubs
On October 13th, 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the allocation of $7 billion dollars to develop seven Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs (H2 Hubs) strategically located across the U.S. as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The H2Hubs will accelerate the commercial-scale deployment of low-cost hydrogen to meet the nation’s climate and energy security goals.
The H2Hubs are anticipated to generate a combined output of three million metric tons of hydrogen each year, contributing to almost one-third of the 2030 U.S. production goal while reducing emissions from hard-to-decarbonize industrial sectors.
Additionally, the H2Hubs are projected to decrease carbon dioxide emissions by 25 million metric tons annually, as well as generate and maintain tens of thousands of jobs nationwide while promoting healthier communities.
Hydrogen Fuel Provisions in the I-Codes
Model codes and standards must be updated to address safety gaps when hydrogen is blended into the natural gas supply. The Code Council is currently in the process of developing the 2027 International Codes® (I-Codes), which includes code proposals developed by the PMG and Fire Code Action Committees that address the blending of gaseous hydrogen with natural gas in the built environment.
Gaseous hydrogen fuel at least 95 percent by volume and no more than 1 percent oxygen, has had code requirements included in the International Fuel Gas Code® (IFGC®) and many other publications for years. The working group’s scope was to expand the minimum safety provisions to address natural gas including gaseous hydrogen admixtures.
Hydrogen Working Group
The PMGCAC Hydrogen Working Group was composed of representatives from academia, national and international associations, national testing laboratories, manufacturers of appliances/equipment/piping systems, contractors, engineers, natural gas energy suppliers, standard development organizations, building and fire officials and other stakeholders.
This group assessed existing I-Code requirements related to hydrogen use, considering current industry practices and safety needs in the built environment.
Through collaborative efforts, rigorous code proposal development and proactive regional outreach, the Code Council is ensuring codes address the global paradigm shift towards a safer, more sustainable and efficient hydrogen-fueled future.
