PLUMBING UTAH
Plumbing 1. The system of pipes and other apparatus for conveying water, liquid wastes, etc., as in a building. 2. The work or trade of a plumber.
Defined in depth by Webster’s New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, (A tome-sized titan!), the word ‘plumbing’ illuminates a concept taken lightly by first-world consumers. Many of us lavish in a privileged setting, while an appreciation for societal plumbing is rushed away from us like so much waste water through a drain. In other societies without plumbing, life seems rougher in contrast, perceived from eyes accustomed to a life lived with plumbing. How often do we wake in the morning en-route to shower, marveling over water flowing from hidden pipes, spraying out of spigots by simply turning a knob? Who honestly lauds the luxury of everyday plumbing to the extent of a higher appreciation? Plumbing is a privilege, yet plumbing is highly taken for granted.
