Court .tells Gorrie man
to replace plumbing
GORRIE — A Gorrie -man is
faced with replacing the plumb-
ing in a,house he hasn't finished
building, following a court ap-
pearance Wednesday, March 12,
in Wingham, according to a
report carried in the London Free
Press.
John E. Brown was ordered by
Provincial Judge Glenn Hays to
replace the plumbing in his one -
storey brick home on Highway 87
between Gorrie and Wroxeter
within one month..
Mr. Brown was also fined $53
for not installing a pressure re-
lease valve on a hot water heater
in the $35,000 house.
The charges followed inspec-
tions of Mr. Brown's house by the

tion department, which found
plastic pipe had been used for
plumbing fixtures and piping in-
stead of copper pipe.
The prosecution is the first for
the' plumbing inspection depart-
ment since it was formed last
June by Huron County Council
amid controversy over the need
for plumbing inspection.
The court case has given teeth
to a county plumbing inspection
bylaw but it has left Mr._ Brown
fuming.
"I still don't see what's wrong
with plastic piping," he said,
adding that hardware stores are
selling a large amount of the
piping to county residents.
Mr. Brown also said he thinks
the requirement that . all new
Ixopaes Arlvadditions rtol°.lexitingv
ones must use . metal (usually
copper) plumbing shouldn't have
been applied to his since he
started building the house one
month before the plumbing in-
spection department was set up.
Plumbing inspector Phil
Paquette said the court decision
is a first for his department and
that 'several other cases may
soon come to court.
He said that while plastic pip-
ing has been approved for use by
the Canadian Standards Associa-
tion, it has not been approved by
the plumbing - code formulated
under the Ontario Water Re-
sources Act.
He said the plastic piping has
not yet been proven able to with-
stand extreme temperature and
pressure.
The inspector said situations
like Mr. Brown's were unfor-
tunate but that many .catalogues
of hardware goods contain warn-
ings that plastic piping may not
meet certain plumbing inspection
standards.
