• Waste Water Removal and Treatment

42. Plumbers can be THE solution
Survey of Plumbing Contractors = 2.8 calls per day
If GreenPlumbers® trains 1,500 Plumbers x 2.8 calls per day =
Over 1 Million houses per year.
If each Plumber saves just 20 gallons of water per house per day the
number of gallons saved over a year would be:
7.36 Billion gallons
