Same dynamic as NY – Chicago’s code defers to plumbing industry interests, raising replacement costs by banning plastics in service lines: codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/chicag...

Fight mosquitoes in your yard. Dump out standing water, especially after it rains. Mosquitoes can use the tiniest bits of water – in buckets, gutters, planter bottoms, unused pool covers, tires and drains – to breed thousands of these flying, biting machines.
