Good to know about emergency plumbing
Under 248 CMR 3.05, plumbing work may not proceed until the local Inspector issues a permit, and permits are issued only to properly licensed individuals (not apprentices). Clearing a stoppage and repairing leaks in a faucet, valve or other working part of a fixture are exempt from the permit requirement.
law.cornell.eduEPA WaterSense reports that the average household's leaks can account for more than 9,300 gallons of water wasted every year, and nine percent of homes have leaks that waste 50 gallons or more per day.
epa.govEPA suggests checking your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used; if the reading changes, you likely have a leak.
