'"~~ complaining of waht they claim to be irregularities in plumbing installation and inspection practices in The City of Rexburg. While they were advised that they should take their case directly to The City we do want to call to your attention a couple of their complaints and you can advise whether they are based on fact or ,~,ctt The first complaint was that The City entered into an agreemen with the general contractor on the new sewer system to insgall service connections to a point within five feet of the house. We are sure that you are aware that this is a violation of The State Plumbing Code which requires that any plumbing installed on private property must be installed by a licensed plumbing constractor or the home owner doing his .own work. The other complaint was that the plumbing being installed in new buildings on The Ricks College campus was not being inspected by you but by a representative of the owner. We feel certain that this information must be incorrect as I know you are aware that all plumbing within The {~;.ty of Rexburg must be inspected by you if The City is to xet~n its exempt status under The State Plumbing Law. 7~ re I will appreciate it very much"if at your convenience you will give me , a reply to these allegations so we may know what to tell these people. ~~" Youxs very txuly, D.
