“Permits” of the plumbing code is hereby amended by repealing such section and enacting a new section to read as follows:
“1. Permits required. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to make any installation, alteration, repair, replacement or remodel any plumbing system regulated by this code except as permitted in subsection (b) of this section, or cause the same to be done without first obtaining a separate plumbing permit for each separate building or structure.
2. Exempt work. A plumbing permit shall not be required for the following:
a. The clearing of stoppages or repairing of leaks in drains, soil, waste or vent pipes; provided, however, that should any concealed trap, drainpipe, soil, waste or vent pipe be removed and replaced with new material, the same shall be considered as new work and a permit shall be procured and inspection made.
b. The clearing of stoppages or repairing of leaks in piping and/or valves when such repairs do not involve or require the replacement or rearrangement of piping and/or valves.
c. The replacement of inoperable, broken or damaged fixtures, faucets or tanks; provided, however, that replacement items meet the requirements of the Peosta Plumbing Code.”
