Amending Section 11-203(3) of The Philadelphia Code, entitled "Sewer and Water Pipe and Other Underground Service," to authorize revision of the length of time during which a permit to maintain a plumber's ditch remains valid.

AI summary

This enacted ordinance changes the rule for permits to maintain a plumber’s ditch, allowing the responsible City Department to set a permit period different from the previous 30-day limit through regulations. It affects people and businesses that obtain permits for sewer, water-pipe, or other underground service work in city streets; emergency-opening permits must still be obtained within five working days.
