Property Services
Because the sewerage of Australian cities has been undertaken by substantial bodies with wide powers, a more effective control has been possible over fittings and connections within the sewered property than in the older cities of Europe. Plumbing codes which effectively standardised pipes, fittings, traps etc. and the licensing of sanitary plumbers have brought real benefits to the industry and the community.
