The World Plumbing Council (WPC) is an international organization which aims to achieve the best possible plumbing for the world through growth and development of the world’s plumbing industries.
Objectives
Create a global network of Plumbing Industries
- This was the original idea behind the establishment of the WPC and it continues to be valuable for our members
- The WPC has at least one organizational (Full or Affiliate) member in 41 countries
- Full members are mainly national level plumbing industry associations and unions
Support better design and governance of Plumbing Industries Worldwide

Continually improve the image of Plumbing Industries
- Primarily by promoting celebrations of World Plumbing Day globally
Advance education and training in Plumbing Industries
- The WPC’s main contribution to education and training currently is our scholarship programs, but the potential is quite broade
Act as a global level communications hub for Plumbing Industries

Progress Plumbing Research and Innovation, in both Technology and Policy Areas
- Such as the WPC research database and reports and policies on plumbing’s important role in public health and environmental sustainability
