Flint, Mich., has been receiving a lot of press lately regarding its public water supply. I won’t go into the politics of Flint or the State of Michigan. Nor do I want to cover what is happening to the water in Flint. Enough has been written about that.
What is more important is that Flint is receiving a lot of headlines. I think it’s great as it is bringing attention to the quality of drinking water. Water quality is what plumbing is all about. As a profession, we truly do protect the health of the nation by assuring high-quality drinking water.
