The Plumbing Bureau's primary focus is on safety within a building. Plumbing inspections ensure that water systems in buildings are connected properly, with no cross-connection to contaminate potable water systems. Fixtures must be properly trapped, to prevent sewer gas from escaping into a buildings. Hot water heaters are also inspected to make sure that they have been installed properly, to prevent an explosion.
