Petri Plumbing & Heating celebrates the impact plumbers make in water safety and preservation during March
Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-owned home service company serving Brooklyn and Manhattan since 1906, is celebrating both World Plumbing Day on March 11 and World Water Day on March 22 by reminding Americans how important plumbing is to human comfort, proper sanitation and water preservation.
“Both of these holidays remind us just how much the plumbing industry has contributed to providing most of us with access to safe, clean water on demand,” said Michael Petri, owner of Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning. “In the Middle Ages, people simply threw their sewerage out on the streets. This helped the spread of the Black Plague and cholera. Even today, in many third-world countries, disease is spread rapidly because they don’t have access to the very plumbing that carries contaminated water away from their homes.”
