I just was talking to a friend who works in a county I don't but is near me.
When replacing water heaters,
They require a Plumbing permit (normal) and now the Health Department is requiring that one of their permits be pulled as well.
They (Health Dept.) now require that water heaters be set at 140 F and since they require that, now the Plumbing Dept. requires a tempering valve be installed on the heaters to prevent burns. Another fixture cost on the plumbing permit and another permit charge from the Health Dept.
The same friend who has a Heating and Air business just had an awning installed over a doorway at his place of business and the permit, for just the awning, was $200.00.
