Plumbing and Gas Inspector: Ron Courtemanche

All plumbing and gas work in the Town of Southborough is required to be performed by a licensed plumbing or gas installer. This work is regulated by CMR 248 2:00, the Massachusetts State Plumbing Code.

Plumbing and gas permits are issued in the Building Department office. Permit application forms are available in the office. Applications may be submitted between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Permit application forms can also be obtained electronically on the web site of The Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. These are found under "Permits" on the attached web site. If a downloaded form is used it must be submitted to the Southborough Building Department, not to the state. LINK http://www.state.ma.us/reg/boards/pl/forms.htm

It is essential that all permit applications be submitted with a current insurance certificate identifying the Town of Southborough as the certificate holder.
