[Adopted 1981]
Before any contractor begins work for a property owner to hook
up to or tap into a public water or sewer line in the Town of Chesapeake
Beach, the contractor shall first obtain a "tap-in" or "hookup" permit
from the Public Works Administrator. This permit shall issue only
to those individuals or firms holding a currently valid master plumbing
license under the laws of the Sate of Maryland. Issuance of the permit
shall also be conditioned upon presentation of satisfactory proof
of bond and proof of a written contract for the work with the property
owner. No permit will be issued unless the written contract clearly
states that the master plumber license holder warrants all work done
pursuant to his contract and that any faulty workmanship or liability
therefor shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor.
After issuance of each permit, the Public Works Administrator
shall have the right to inspect by qualified personnel all work performed
by the contractor under the permit. Any faulty or defective work detected
pursuant to such inspection shall entitle the Administrator and Town
of Chesapeake Beach to order all work halted by revocation of the
permit until adequate remedies are demonstrated by the contractor.
The fee for issuance of each permit hereunder shall be $10.
