(a) No person, firm, or corporation, or any employee thereof, shall tap any sewer or water main, or lay any house connection pipe, or dig in or open any street, road, or other public way for the purpose of tapping any such sewer or water main, or laying such house connections, unless such person has obtained from the Municipal Manager a permit for doing such work. The work shall at all times be under the supervision of the sewer builder, plumber, or contractor (hereinafter called "plumber") licensed to do such work. These rules shall not prevent any licensed sewer builder from the building of house laterals as a part of any contract job being done under the supervision of the Municipal Manager. Any competent person, firm, or corporation shall, on application, be granted a plumber's license, such application to be accompanied by satisfactory evidence of qualifications and responsibility. Such license will be good until December 31 of the year for which it is issued, unless previously revoked. The license will be revoked if the holder violates any of the rules and regulations. Bond in an amount not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) will be required unless otherwise ordered by the Municipal Manager.
(b) Application for permits shall be made by a licensed plumber on the prescribed form and shall include intelligible plans and specifications of the work to be done, showing location and character. Any misrepresentation in such application shall constitute sufficient grounds for revocation of the applicant's license. Permits shall be kept on the job at all times while work is in progress.
(Ord. 1990-08. Passed 8-21-90.)
(c) No connection with any sewer, or repair or removal thereof, shall be made without a permit from the Municipal Manager.
