Proposed Plumbing Test Draws Criticism - Southern Maryland News, Charles County, Calvert County and St. Mary's County News
A public hearing was held Tuesday by the St. Mary’s County Commissioners to consider updating the code from a national 2006 standard to the latest 2009 edition. The proposal, however, also contains the suggestion by the St. Mary’s County Plumbing and Fuel Gas Board to require the person doing the work, such as installing a dishwasher in their home, to appear at one of their monthly meeting and take a test.
The proposal for the test was not well received by several commissioners. Commissioner Cynthia Jones (R: 1st) wanted to know what the existing problem was that would be addressed by requiring a test and someone getting 70 percent on the test in order to get a permit to do the work.
