The Topeka City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to rescind controversial plumbing amendments and reconsider how the amendments to the plumbing code should be worded. Deputy Mayor Tony Emerson made the motion to reconsider two amendments he proposed after hearing concerns from businesses in the community. “Although my amendments solved a few immediate problems their wording let some plumbing contractors think their livelihood was being threatened,” Emerson said at the Oct. 20 city council meeting. “I can assure you that was not the intent.”
