On June 6 in Washington, the Plumbing Industry Leadership Coalition met to address three topics we’ve discussed in this column in recent months: upgrading the nation’s aging infrastructure, preparing for the federal law on no-lead plumbing products and attracting the next generation of plumbing industry professionals, including engineers.
Formed a year ago, PILC seeks to give the plumbing industry a unified — and stronger — voice on legislative matters and other important issues. Another goal is to improve the plumbing industry’s image. Both objectives are worthwhile.
