Shasta Lake Municipal Code section 13.16.320, PermitWhy this matters
The owner maintains the building sewer to the main, so its repair is the owner's work, and repair itself needs the permit. Section 13.16.500 adds that all pipes, fittings and appurtenances "shall be inspected by the city prior to backfill to insure compliance with city construction standards."
