Sec. 22.1-11. Plumbing permits to be granted only to master
plumbers; who may do plumbing work.
Plumbing permits shall be issued only to a duly registered
master plumber or to an authorized employee of a business
employing such a master plumber. All permits shall be signed by
a master plumber or on his behalf by an authorized employee. It
shall be the responsibility of each person to keep on file with the
plumbing inspector a list of employees authorized to sign the
master plumber's name for issuance of a permit, and the
plumbing inspector, so long as such employee's name is listed,
may issue a permit to such employee and hold the master
plumber liable for compliance to this chapter for the job for which
the permit was issued.
Only a master plumber, a journeyman plumber or individuals
under the immediate supervision of a master or journeyman
plumber shall be allowed to make any connection with sewer,
drain, soil, waste, vent or water pipe, or make any alterations or
additions to any sewer, drain, soil, waste, vent or water pipe;
provided, that this shall not prevent the digging of ditches by
individuals without the presence of a master or journeyman
plumber on the job.
Journeyman plumbers, who are duly registered as herein before
set forth, performing plumbing work shall be employees of a
master plumber or of a business employing a master plumber, to
whom a permit has been issued. (10-19-64.)
