SAN ANTONIO – Plumbers in San Antonio and across Texas overwhelmed by the demand following last week’s historic cold will be getting even more help from licensed apprentices thanks to Gov. Greg Abbott’s announcement allowing at least 500 licensees in response to the crisis under “general supervision.”
“I’m all for it,” said Keith Brunner, a board member with the trade association, Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors.
Brunner said because as it is now, apprentices are waiting longer for their test dates to be further licensed.
