Potts Plumbing Parts in Alhambra to shut doors after 76 years of business

Longtime customers like Byron Lewis, a high-ranking plumber for Alhambra Unified School District, said he started an account there 24 years ago — the best decision in his career. The Potts taught him how to fix early 1900s plumbing like those at Mark Keppel High School, which was built in 1939. No one but the Potts knew how to work with ancient pipes, he said.
