I. Plumbing Regulations and Standards
Plumbing safety and quality are governed by regulations from organizations like the EPA, local building codes, and water utilities. Expertise from industry professionals, including pipe and fitting manufacturers and organizations like AWWA and NAHB, contribute to best practices. Licensed plumbers are responsible for meeting regulatory requirements, while other stakeholders, such as general contractors and property owners, play a role in maintaining the safety of plumbing systems.
