Sec. 22.1-13. When plumbing permit and inspection required.
A plumbing permit and inspection shall be required whenever
the city furnishes an applicant with water to supply plumbing
fixtures; provided, that owners of property outside the city,
desiring to connect to a city water main, shall make written
application therefor to the city manager. If the city manager
approves such application, he shall grant a permit for such
connection provided that the owner executes a contract with the
city agreeing to comply with all city plumbing ordinances.
A plumbing permit shall be required for the installation,
roughing-in or changing of any sewer, waste, vent, trap, or
fixture. The word "fixture" shall be construed to mean each water
closet, sink, bathtub, shower, lavatory, urinal, wash tray, floor
drain, washing machine connection, disposal or any water using
apparatus which is connected to the waste or drainage system
through a trap.
Except for emergency plumbing work, for which a plumbing
permit would be required, all plumbing permits shall be applied
for and issued before the commencement of plumbing work on the
job. It shall be the duty of the master plumber, as soon after the
emergency as is possible, to notify the plumbing inspector of the
emergency work done and to secure a permit therefor. (10-19-64.)
