Before any plumbing work is done or any additions are made to old work, excepting necessary repairs, a plumbing permit must be obtained from the Public Works. Plumbing permits will be issued only to New Hampshire Licensed Master Plumbers. A current plumbing license must be displayed each time a permit is issued.
