CITY COUNCIL, CITY OF SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
A RESOLUTION FINDING AND DETERMINING THE NEED FOR
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS TO THE CALIFORNIA PLUMBING
CODE, 1998 EDITION
WHEREAS, Section 17958 of the Health & Safety Code requires the adoption by the City
of South San Francisco of regulations imposing the requirements of certain uniform industry codes
as specified in Health & Safety Code § 17922; and
WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code §17958.5 permits a city to make such changes or
modifications to the uniform codes as deemed reasonable because of local climatic, geological, or
topographical conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of South San
Francisco that pursuant to the requirements of Health & Safety Code §17958.7, the City Council
finds and determines there is a need to adopt the following changes or modifications to the California
Plumbing Code 1998 Edition, (Municipal Code Chapter 15.12) by reason of local conditions:
1. Climatic, Geological, and Topographical Changes.
Provisions on plumbing systems are amended in Section 701.1.2 and Section 903.1.2
limiting the use of plastic piping to certain residential structures and prohibiting the
use of such piping in industrial and commercial buildings, due to the fire risk caused
by the City's proximity to the San Andreas Fault. Similarly, Section 903.1.2, Section
604.1, and Section 1211.3 are amended in order to avoid indoor leakage problems
and to reduce the risk of toxic fumes or gas in case of fires, due to the increased fire
risk caused by the City's proximity to the San Andreas Fault.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby directed to cause a copy of this
resolution, together with the ordinance making the changes or modifications to the California
Plumbing Code 1998 Edition, to be filed with the State Department of Housing and Community
Development and the California State Building Standards Commission.
