World Plumbing Day 2012

World Plumbing Day is an international event on March 11 initiated by the World Plumbing Council celebrating the important role plumbing plays in the health and safety of modern society.

The aftermath of 2010's devastating earthquake in Haiti and last year's tsunami in Japan
reveals how easy it is to take for granted the availability of safe drinking water and sufficient sanitation systems — until those systems cease to function properly. History shows that great leaps in humankind's advancement — both physically and socially — have been tied to advances in plumbing technology.

The safety and abundance of drinking water is, of course, a concern for most people all over the world, but what is not often emphasized is the work the plumbing industry contributes every day to alleviate these concerns. We would like you help in bringing a better understanding of the largely misunderstood role plumbers play in keeping folks safe and healthy each and every day.

We look forward to seeing your participation in this worthwhile event.

Thank You Russ, you are at the essence of my efforts, the leading edge of World Peace. I am sure we will get more awareness as time goes on. The Water Efforts of WPC are very close to my efforts with Rotary and Water Team Intl. We all need to go past our "Comfort Zones" for a moment and get a clear understanding of the Water Issues that exist World Wide as well as in our home it's self.
