The applicant for a plumber's license shall also execute a bond in the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000.00) to be approved by the Council guaranteeing the faithful observance of all rules and regulations and holding the City harmless of all loss, damage or costs which may accrue against the City by reason of the applicant's failure to comply with the plumbing rules and regulations of the City or on account of defective, careless or inefficient work. Upon the approval of this bond, the City Collector shall issue the license to such applicant. The license shall be issued only for the current year.
If any licensed plumber fails to comply with the rules and regulations of the City waterworks or those governing the sewer system, his/her license shall be suspended or revoked by the Council, and no permit shall thereafter be issued to him/her, nor shall he/she be allowed to do further business in connection with the waterworks or sewer system until all damages are covered and full satisfaction rendered.
