32 | Based on the definition in the UPC code book the static pressure that was recorded “is the residual pressure” because it is pressure present after allowance has been made for friction loss, head, meter, and other losses that occur as water makes it way from the source to the plumbing fixture. According to the pressures measured at the facility they had well above 15 psi at each fixture. The flow rate of the water as the fixture is on, can vary depending on the make, model and built in design of the shower head and valve from the manufacturer. The facility provided proof of tested water pressure for multiple units, which were complaint to UPC.
During the course of the investigation, interviews were conducted, and records were reviewed. Investigation revealed information obtained did not present a preponderance of evidence to support or corroborate the allegation. The allegation was deemed unsubstantiated. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report along with Licensee Rights (LIC 9058 03/22) were emailed to Executive Director, Stephanie Boudreau. |
