March 11 is
World Plumbing Day
It is a date that has been fixed
on the calendars of the world
plumbing community since its
establishment by the World
Plumbing Council in 2010 and
is now a fixture on the calendars of
political and social institutions around
the globe.
The international plumbing community, as represented
by the Council, has a vital role in promoting the link
between good quality plumbing, health, environmental
sustainability and, increasingly, economic prosperity.
March 11 is marked by celebrations, competitions,
seminars, and activities all around the world. People
from within and outside the plumbing fraternity come
together to learn, share knowledge, build connections
and find opportunities to collaborate to improve the
quality of, and access to, fresh water and safe sanitation.
There are now hundreds of annual World Plumbing
Day events, promoting the link between good plumbing
sanitation and human and environmental health.

Brendan Reynolds, executive director of IOPSA says
that this is a day when plumbers throughout the
country traditionally host individual initiatives within
their communities. “At the very least they will typically
go clean up a park, river or beach, depending on their
location.”
