The plumbing industry made national headlines last month when Texas lawmakers failed to extend the life of the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, which was due to shut down by Sept. 1, 2020. The board is responsible for licensing plumbers and investigating claims of unlicensed work or violations of the plumbing licensing law.

Perhaps they need to be re-educated in the work plumbers do to safeguard the water supply and protect the public from illness and disease.
