Update of the Chicago Plumbing Code
Canceled
Date Updated: April 3, 2020 at ASPE HQ
The City of Chicago was scheduled to publish the updated code in December 2019. At the time of writing, the updated code has not been released. This workshop may be rescheduled to a later date depending on if and when Chicago publishes the updated code. A determination will be made on March 6, 2020 (four weeks ahead of the revised workshop date) if the workshop will be held. This will be dependent on if the City of Chicago has released the updated code. Do not book travel until after Society staff have announced if the training will be held. Registered attendees will be notified if the workshop will be held or not. If the workshop is canceled, registered attendees will receive a 100% refund of the workshop fee paid (travel fees excluded). Space is limited for this event so if you are interested in attending this workshop if it is held, it is encouraged to register.
