Middletown Plumbing Code Sparks Business Protest
A Middletown businessman told the City Commission that the new plumbing code, effective Dec 1, will cut into his Water Softening Service Inc business. Arthur J. Frey said plumbers will resist installing his Culligan water softeners, since they also sell plumbing appliances. City officials defended the measure as public safety and convenience, while Frey and the city attorney plan discussions to resolve the issue.
