Piping Work May End Green Water
(New Zealand Press Association)
TIMARU, March 8 An end to household taps running green water is imminent through action proposed by the Minister of Health (Mr D. N. McKay) to ensure that all copper piping imported to New Zealand is free from film and defects.
Plumbers' merchants in ! New Zealand, anticipating an j amendment to the plumbing ■ and drainage regulations, i have arranged for new imj ports of piping from Canadian and United Kingdom manu- | facturers to carry' a standards , mark indicating the piping is j free from “deleterious film.” Approval of the move was given today by the New Zeal land Society of Master j Plumbers at its annual conference in Timaru. The society was informed by the Auckland council of the building industry that the support of the Minister of Industries and Commerce (Mr Marshall) was given in an ap(proach to Mr McKay to “end
, the two-year battle to solve I the problem of deleterious 'film in imported copper I piping.” Standard specifications for gas equipment and registration of installation technicians is likely to emerge soon as a result of the development of natural gas resources in the North Island.
