Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.

It shall be the duty of said Water Superintendent at the time each application as herein required is made to enter in a book for that purpose a record of such permit, and the statements and representations of the applicant and the place, location, kind and extent of the connection to be made, the purpose for which the water is to be used, and all the plumbing and plumbing work in any manner or way connected therewith, as herein required to be given by said applicant upon making application. He/she shall also enter in a book to be kept for that purpose, and kept as a permanent record in said office of the City Water Superintendent, the report of the plumber or person installing said plumbing, showing in detail all the work done. The report and return of the plumber herein required shall be made in writing and entered of record before any water is turned on in any such connection for use, and it shall be unlawful for the plumber or any other person to turn the water on until such return is made. Any plumber failing or refusing to make any such return within five (5) days after completion of such work, or making misrepresentation therein, shall not thereafter for a period of three (3) years be permitted to act as a plumber or do plumbing work in said City.
