World Plumbing Day

World Plumbing Day – 11 March

Did you know that 1.1 billion people lack access to a safe clean water supply and 2.6 billion do not enjoy the use of effective sanitation systems? The tragic result is 3.1 million children die each year as a result of diseases that could have been prevented if only the children had access to basic facilities, according to the World Health Organization. There is nothing more important than clean drinking water and good basic sanitation to keep the world and the people who inhabit it healthy.

World Plumbing Day (WPD) is an international event held on 11 March every year, initiated by the World Plumbing Council (WPC) to unite the Plumbing Industry and to promote the important role that plumbing plays in the health, safety and sustainability of our communities.  For further information about the WPC, please visit worldplumbing.org
