329A. No person, firm or corporation shall begin the erection or
construction of a new building, in Kent County, or undertake the
construction of any major additions or alterations to an existing
building, which will in any way affect the water supply, sewage dis-
posal or plumbing system in such building, or undertake the installa-
tion of plumbing fixtures, appliances connected with the water or
sewerage system, sewers or additions to present sewers, without first
having obtained a permit from the Plumbing Board of Kent County
as hereinafter provided.

329B. Applicants for a permit shall be required to give the loca-
tion and description of the property, including, if applicable, name
of subdivision, lot number, size of lot, and nature and size of build-
ing or extent of addition or alterations to existing buildings and the
method of water supply and sewage disposal and number and kind
of plumbing fixtures and/or appliances connected with the water or
sewerage system to be installed, on an application form obtainable
at the office of the Plumbing Board of Kent County. The said appli-
cation must be accompanied by a rough drawing showing the size,
shape and general location of the owner's property and the location
of the existing or proposed building thereon, and the water supply
and sewage disposal system in existence or proposed. After said
application has been duly processed in the Plumbing Board office, it
shall be delivered to the County Health Department for processing
and approval. The Health Department shall not approve any appli-

sanitary requirements cannot or will not be complied with by the

cesspool or tile field will not be satisfactory. When so approved by
the County Health Department the application shall be returned to
the office of the Plumbing Board who shall issue to the applicant a
"Sanitary Construction Permit" upon payment of the fee or fees as
determined by the Plumbing Board.

329C. All plumbing work done in the County in and about, or
in connection with any building, must conform to the Plumbing

Health. All indoor plumbing fixtures must be installed under the
supervision of a plumber holding a Kent County plumbing license.
Installation of approved dry wells, septic tanks, cesspools or the tile
fields must be done under the supervision of a plumber holding a
Kent County plumbing license, unless the work is being done by the
property owner himself, unless said property is rental property, or
as otherwise stated herein.

329D. (a) No person shall engage in the business of construct-
ing, remodeling, altering or installing any septic system or part of
any septic system unless they are in possession of a valid license
issued by the Health Officer. This shall not apply to any person con-
