LAWS OF MARYLAND

Ch. 767

[With respect to those portions of Prince George's
County which are not within the sanitary district, the
commission's Plumbing Rules and Regulations shall apply to
the installation of any plumbing commenced on or after June
1, 1965, but those rules and regulations shall not apply to
plumbing installations in existence on that date and the
owner of the property wherein the existing plumbing is
located shall not be required to change the existing
plumbing until either water or sewer service is obtained
from a commission system and upon the happening of any of
those events the provisions of this section and of the
commission's rules and regulations shall apply to such
property and such plumbing the same as if the property was
within the sanitary district. Further, the commission is
authorized to enter into an agreement with Prince George's
County under which the county will issue the necessary
permit and perform the necessary inspection for and in the
name of the commission in those areas which are not within
the sanitary district, so long as such agreement provides
that the commission's Plumbing Rules and Regulations will be
applied. Neither the immediately aforegoing provision, nor
any agreement entered into thereunder, shall derogate from
the commission's power and authority to make and enforce
such rules and regulations as to the installation of
plumbing in the county as it may deem necessary for the
public health, nor shall it affect the commission's
authority and power with respect to public and semi-public
water supply and sanitary sewerage systems specified in
sections 8-2 and 8-3 of this article. Any violation of any
of the provisions of this section shall be a misdemeanor
punishable under section 18-7 of this article.]

[8-2. Written permits required in Prince George's County.
(a) From and after April 25, 1955, no individual, firm
or corporation shall construct, alter or extend a water
supply system, a sewerage collection and disposal system in
any area in Prince George's County, Maryland, not included
within the area of the Washington Suburban Sanitary
District, except the subdivision known as "Calvert Manor",
without having received a written permit from the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission so to do; and such permit for
such purpose shall not be issued until complete plans and
specifications for the installation, alteration or
extension, together with such information as the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission may require, have been
submitted to and approved by the commission. All
construction shall take place in accordance with the
approved plans and shall be subject to the inspection of the
commission. In case it shall become necessary or desirable
to make material changes in plans and specifications, such
changed plans and specifications, together with a statement
of the reasons for the alteration, shall be submitted to the
commission and no material changes shall be embodied in the
actual construction until they have been approved and a
permit issued therefor.
