El Paso, Texas – City of El Paso is responding to city wide plumbing needs and is addressing permit needs of residents with extended office hours by opening on Fridays for next several weeks.
Please note that if you have had plumbing problems such as broken pipes you are required to obtain a permit for the repairs. Under an emergency situation as the recent freeze residents are able to obtain a permit after the repairs are made rather than in advance.
However, it is important that a permit be obtained and an inspection takes place in order to assure that the repairs are adequate and that the supply of water remains safe for everyone.
There were a number of backflow preventers that were damaged and that allows for possible contaminants to enter the drinking water.
The Building Permits and Inspections office will be open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for the next several weeks to allow for everyone to obtain permits in a timely basis. For more information please call (915) 541-4200.
