Clean water fuels clean living


ON•TAP supported the World Plumbing Council's official World Plumbing Day on 11 March 2011.

Clean water should not be seen as a luxury, but as a necessity. The World Plumbing Council wants to emphasise that plumbing is essential to the health of people, and also their environment (and the planet as a whole). This year's World Plumbing Day theme is Plumbing Vital to Global Health.

In a published text from 1876, the plumber is described as someone with the same status as the doctor, because of the plumber's contribution to the good health of people.

Although, in parts of the world where plumbing systems are developed, people often neglect the importance of what they are so privileged to experience. Thus, the plumbing industry is taken for granted.

If you think about it, there is not a single person on this planet that will not benefit from having access to good plumbing. Let's focus on the importance of an industry that gives us so much to be thankful for and support them as they have supported our glasses of clean, drinkable water over the years.
