Plumbers weigh new battle over plastic pipe.

The article discusses controversy related to use of plastic piping in New York. Westchester County and state plumbing contractors said that they will decide later this month whether to pursue a new ban on all plastic piping for multi-family and commercial construction, now that New York Governor George Pataki allowed the prohibition to quietly end as of January 1, 2005. Pataki vetoed a state Senate bill that would have extended the plastic-piping ban three years through January 1, 2005. New York has now joined every other state in the nation in allowing builders to use plastic piping for all projects.
