Advocacy

Material preference legislation continues to fail at the local and national levels because engineers, utilities, contractors, architects, public entities and the business community have stood together to oppose this effort by the plastic pipe industry, which would come at the expense of local and professional control over water projects.

Given the significant resources that are being expended for this effort, it is important that we work together. Here are some steps to assist in this effort:

  1. If you hear of developments at the federal, state or local level related to this effort or if you would like more information, please contact us.
  2. Reach out to your elected leaders to let each know about your views of opposition and the harm this would bring to long-term, clean water delivery infrastructure.
