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 hereinbefore
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.)
