NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The City of Norfolk filed a lawsuit against former Norfolk plumber Andy Zoby.

Zoby's about to serve 15 months for giving bribes to Norfolk plumbing supervisors.

In an unrelated matter, the City made a mistake and overpaid Zoby for work on the Town Point Park Water Fountain Project, before it came to light that the bribery scandal was ongoing at Norfolk City Hall. The invoice requesting repayment is dated May 16, 2012. The City made the mistake, but Zoby has refused to give back the money and that's why the city is taking him to court.

The City is fighting to get back the $4,000 overpayment. The case will be heard in September.

It will be interesting to see how the case plays out because in September Zoby should be in the custody of federal authorities serving time for offering bribes.

Norfolk files lawsuit against plumber

Q: I'm a big fan of your column and need a little help. My wife and I are thinking about remodeling our bathroom and want to include a whirlpool. But, we're looking for a more gentle massage, and every tub I've checked out includes a strong pump that really moves the water around. Do they make a milder whirlpool tub, and, if so, what should I be looking for? -Ron and Kim, Mass.

A: Standard whirlpool tubs do include strong pump systems that mix the flow of water with air to produce a vigorous massage. But when you slow down the flow of water, the air jets usually stop working.

It sounds like you're looking for all the bubbles without the strong water flow. If that is the case, I have some good news for you. In recent years, a new bath-tub technology called "effervescence hydrotherapy" has become very popular.

Effervescence tubs are designed to generate tiny bubbles throughout the entire tub with minimum water movement. Basically, it can feel like you're taking a bath in a big glass of sparkling water. The small bubbles naturally travel around your body on the way up to produce a warm, soothing and mild tingling experience.

Also, you may find yourself spending more time in the tub since it is a soaking experience as opposed to a physical massage, so inline water heaters are usually included.

Bottom line: Effervescence tubs can give your body a nice washing without feeling like you just went through the spin cycle!

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jul 16, 2013) - Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air, San Diego's First Certified Green Plumber, has expanded its vehicle fleet with the addition of a new Diesel-Electric Hybrid Hino Cab-Over -- a truck that represents a giant leap for environmentally friendly, alternative fuel commercial vehicles in North America.

According to Mary Jean Anderson, president of Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air, "Our new super green service vehicle is finally in the field. This is a breakthrough for our industry. We have been waiting a long time for a viable option for a hybrid that is designed to accommodate all of the equipment we take out to the field every day."

"Each of our service vehicles is a plumbing parts warehouse on wheels. We carry two different size water heaters, six different faucets, sinks, two toilets and a huge assortment of plumbing repair parts all of which weigh at least one ton. With the right vehicle, 99% of the time we can do our work upon arrival and diagnosis. This is a great time savings for our clients and separates us from our competition," added Anderson.

Hino is the leader in commercial truck diesel-electric hybrid technology. The Hino COE model was designed from the ground-up for the U.S. and arrives with the benefit of six generations of technology evolution and more than 10,000 production vehicles already on the road around the world.

In addition to the new hybrid truck, Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air has replaced all its Comfort Advisor service vehicles with Hybrid Ford Transits. In addition to best-in-class fuel efficiency, the Transit Connect can travel up to 354 miles on a single tank of gas.

"We serve homeowners from North County to South Bay and from the Beaches to East County so it is really important to us to be as efficient and responsible as possible from an environmental standpoint," added Anderson.

Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air was the first San Diego plumbing company to earn Green Plumber certification. The training consists of a five-part accreditation in environmental and technical issues including Caring for our Water, Climate Care, Water Efficient Technology, Solar Hot Water and an Inspection Report Service.

Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air has been serving San Diego County since 1978 and specializes in plumbing installation and repairs for both residential and commercial including drain repair, water heater installation, pipe replacement, and trenchless sewer repair. The company also offers residential and commercial heating and air conditioning services including new equipment installation, retrofit, repairs and maintenance. Anderson Plumbing, Heating and Air offers 24-hour emergency plumbing service to the greater San Diego area.
