World Plumbing Day

Fastest Outdoor Bathroom: Charmin participated in the 17th annual Outhouse Classic in Trenary, MI, where thousands of attendees cheered for the "fastest outdoor bathroom." As a sponsor, Charmin worked with the Outhouse Classic committee to construct an original outhouse that could glide on skis and be pushed in the snow to the finish line by two “handlers.” Race participants competed one at a time with their homemade bathrooms.

The first World Plumbing Day is scheduled for March 11. The World Plumbing Council has created this event to help the general public better understand the vital role the plumbing industry plays in protecting public health and safety, the extent to which it helps limit mankind’s environmental footprint and other important work performed by contractors, inspectors, installers, engineers, manufacturers and academicians.

The International Code Council works with organizations such as the World Plumbing Council to build on each other’s expertise and strengths. The March 15 release of the Public Version of the International Green Construction Code is timed to coincide with World Plumbing Day.
