Programme Highlight:
Pursuant to Section 14 of Waterworks Ordinance (Cap. 102) (WWO), a person must not construct, install, alter, or remove a fire service or inside service unless the Water Authority has granted a written permission for it. The Water Authority may grant the written permission on his own initiative or on application of a licensed plumber. Besides, Section 15 of the WWO also stipulates that, a person who is not a designated person# must not carry out the construction, installation, maintenance, alteration, repair or removal of a fire service or inside service (i.e. specified plumbing works).
The Water Authority may waive the requirement of permission under Section 14 of the WWO in the case of alterations to a fire service or inside service which are, in his opinion, of a minor nature. Alterations to a fire service or inside service must not be considered as of a minor nature if the alterations would, in the opinion of the Water Authority, adversely affect the efficiency of the fire service or inside service in providing a reliable and adequate supply of water; or the quality of the water.
This webinar shares the streamlined procedure to enhance completeness of submission documents for application for water supplies, electronic submission for simple cases of application for water supplies and the brief on updated version of “Technical Requirements for Plumbing Works in Buildings”.
