A RESOLUTION

Recognizing March 11, 2011, as World Plumbing Day; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, World Plumbing Day was founded on March 11, 2010, as a way to highlight the important role played by the plumbing industry and today's plumbing professionals; and

WHEREAS, many living in industrialized and developed countries take for granted the ability to obtain clean water quickly and easily from a tap or faucet and do not fully appreciate the convenience of having access to flushing toilets; and

WHEREAS, in developing countries, plumbing is either nonexistent or very basic and results in the development of serious health issues; and

WHEREAS, millions of people die each year due to lack of access to clean drinking water and living in unsanitary conditions; and

WHEREAS, according to the World Health Organization, 1.1 billion people around the globe do not have access to safe water supplies, 2.6 billion do not have access to healthy sanitation systems, and 3.1 million children die annually as a result of water related diseases; and

WHEREAS, on World Plumbing Day, industry representatives from across the globe bring attention to the important role that plumbing professionals play in society; and

WHEREAS, events will be held around the globe on World Plumbing Day in locations such as Australia, New Zealand, China, India, the United Kingdom, Scotland, and the United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize the importance of the plumbing industry and plumbing professionals and acknowledge March 11, 2011, as World Plumbing Day.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized and directed to transmit appropriate copies of this resolution to members of the public and the press.
