§ 2.92.090. Powers and duties.

The board of plumbing examiners and appeals shall have the following powers and duties:

A.

The board shall examine all applicants for a master plumber, journeyman and apprentice plumber's certificate, and upon the successful completion of such examination and payment of the required certification fee, shall issue to each applicant an appropriate certificate of registration.

B.

The board, in open meetings, shall hear all appeals under the provisions of this chapter and Chapters 6.52 and 16.12 from any decision or ruling of the director of codes administration. The board, when so appealed to and after a hearing, may vary the application of any provision of this chapter and Chapters 6.52 and 16.12 to any particular case when, in its opinion, the strict enforcement thereof would do manifest injustice and would be contrary to the spirit and purposes of this chapter and Chapters 6.52 and 16.12, or public interest, and when, in its opinion, the interpretation of the director should be modified.

C.

The board may, upon presentation of satisfactory evidence in the form of material tests and technical data, approve for use under this chapter or Chapters 6.52 and 16.12 any new plumbing material or method of installation not specifically covered or allowed by this chapter or Chapters 6.52 and 16.12. A public hearing, at a time and place set by the board, shall be held prior to approval or disapproval, by the board, of any proposed new plumbing material or method of construction. Such hearing shall be conducted according to the rules of the board established for such hearings.

D.

The board shall have the authority to revoke or suspend any certification issued by such board, according to the procedures set forth in Section 6.52.120.
