Sec. 491(6). Permits—when required—who may do
plumbing work.
No alterations or installation of plumbing, shall be made, except
where the cost thereof is less than $10.00, without first obtaining
a permit therefor. Application for such permit shall be
made to the Plumbing Inspector on forms prescribed by him.
Such application shall be accompanied by such sketches and other
information as may be required by the City Manager, to enable
the City officials to determine whether or not such proposed work
is in conformity with the provisions of this Chapter. Upon the
approval of such application, the Plumbing Inspector shall issue
a written permit for such work.
Only a licensed plumber or his agent shall be allowed to make
connection with any sewer, drain, soil, waste or water pipe, or
make any addition or any alteration with any sewer, drain, soil,
waste, or water pipe.
Except in amount less than ten dollars, but not including repairs,
or renewals where necessary to cut into existing sewer,
drain, soil, vent, waste, or water pipe in the sanitary arrangement
of any building, the plumber must get a written permit from the
Inspector to do so. Before any permit is issued for work requiring
a connection with the sewer of the City, the plumber shall
get from the Engineering Department the location of the sewer
connection and the work authorized by the permit shall be made
to conform thereto.
It shall be unlawful for any plumber to take out a permit for
any person not in his employ. Any plumber taking a job which
has been started by another, must be in every case responsible
for the entire work.
