Prior to commencing any work within the Township that requires
a license as a master plumber or journeyman plumber, the plumber shall
file, with the Code Enforcement Officer or such other person designated
by the Board of Supervisors, evidence of his/her certification as
a master or journeyman plumber.
No plumbing work of any kind, except as otherwise provided in
this chapter, shall be undertaken until a permit has been issued by
the Code Enforcement Officer. Said permit shall be issued only to
a licensed master plumber or to the owner of the property.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter
shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial
District Judge under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure,
be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of
not more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payment
thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term
not exceeding 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation
continues or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate
offense, and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also
constitute a separate offense.
