What Galionites Need to Know About the Upcoming 2020 Census

The census is critical for the proper functioning of government. It is the basis for much of how government policies get implemented. This covers things from roads to voting representation. It is especially for small communities like Galion to take part.

Things Info From the 2020 Census Will Be Used to Do


Here is a small sample of what the results are used for:

  • Apportioning seats for Congress
  • Drawing lines for congressional districts
  • Funding for roads and schools
  • Health funding
  • Community improvements
  • Locate job training centers
  • And more...

How Private Companies Use Census Data


That’s just for government functions, many private companies make their decisions based on the 2020 census information as well. From demographics research to deciding what new products could be useful or popular. The reach of this information is often underestimated.

Potential Drawbacks of Census Participation and How You're Protected 


However, this does bring some questions. Some are worried that this can be used against them. From being targeted by landlords for having too many tenets, to being hassled by police. However, these worries aren’t new. 

The many potential problems around the census have long been found out, and it has many safeguards to prevent abuses. 
  • The government is restricted from using this information for any reason other than statistics. 
  • The police aren’t even allowed to use if for law enforcement, for example. 
  • The individual information collected must remain in the Census Bureau, there is no exception to this.


The Bureau has several ways to collect this information. They send agents out door to door, but also offer phone interviews and even a new online site. 


There are no real downsides to taking the 2020 census. 

From funding to representation, it will help your community to be properly accounted for. It’s also easier than ever for residents to take, with the new online submissions. 

Make sure to do your part.

Commercial Plumbing Basics: Galion Edition

Up to a point, plumbing is plumbing whether you're looking at a house, a trailer, an apartment building, a restaurant or a factory... but...

Commercial Plumbing specifically looks at plumbing processes on a larger scale, that larger scale may include multiple floors of a building or far more sinks and toilets than a residential plumber would need to install or repair.

Commercial Plumbers Are Needed for Big Projects


The size of the plumbing project you need to get done is one indicator of the need to bring in a commercial plumbing service.

The size may refer to the size of the structure, such as a multilevel building, or it may refer the number of water outlets, such as toilets and faucets you need to have installed or maintained.

(In Galion, of course, there aren't a lot of especially tall buildings, at least not yet, but there are a few, and there are also some commercial buildings that have multiple water outlets to maintain.)

Commercial Plumbers Need to Know Building Codes


While all plumbers should be familiar with proper installation of plumbing systems, there are sometimes laws called codes that are specific to commercial buildings.

Bringing in a professional to install or to repair the plumbing in a commercial setting ensures you remain in compliance of local building codes.

If you have questions about these codes in Galion, you could visit the city building and track down the building inspector, or you could hire a professional commercial plumber and let them handle that part.

Installation of Commercial Plumbing Systems


The best time to get it right with plumbing in a commercial building is during installation, if possible.

Some common tasks handled by commercial plumbers include:
  • Diagnosing plumbing system issues
  • Repairing damaged plumbing
  • Water main replacement

Taking the time to make sure everything is properly installed and up to code from the very beginning helps you cut costs in the long run and can simplify the maintenance process for a building's plumbing system.

Maintaining and Repairing Commercial Plumbing Systems


Sewer mains and water heaters are two other key parts of commercial water systems. When you have complications with these types of plumbing components that require leak detection or other types of repair, bringing in a professional plumber or team of plumbers who are skilled in commercial plumbing work can save you time and get everything working properly.


When You Want to Change Your Life

My Galionite Facebook page motivational video for today was about five words to change your life and help you get what you want.

Have You Decided it's Time to Change Your Life?

That question actually goes back to the video - because the speaker talkas a lot about decisions - comparing a decision to a New Year's resolution and explaingin that a decision is just that - a decision - that may or may not materialize.

Can These Words Really Help You Get What You Want?


One thing I found really interesting about the folowing video is that the speaker wasn't saying to use specific words to get what you want - she was sharing what types of words to listen for in negotiations so you know when to push on instead of saying 'oh, okay' and waking away with less than you can possibly get from any given situation.



Thanks for visiting Galionite today, and I hope you have a great day! While you're out and about in Galion, today, I hope you find an opportunity that inspires you.
