As of September 1, 2008,
the Emerald Bay Municipal Utility
District adopted a formal building
inspection policy within the boundaries
of the District. All new construction
and any renovation that exceeds
$10,000.00 in value must be inspected by
the District's certified plumbing
inspector. If you are a home owner,
builder, remodeler, or the home owner’s
designee, you must follow the
"New
Construction or Major Renovation General
Inspection Guidelines" in order to avoid
late penalties and/or termination of
water and wastewater service. These
guidelines may be reviewed under the
"Apply for
Service" section of this web page.
The options described under the Apply
for Service section vary considerably at
to specific requirements for the type of
application requested. Please review
each option carefully.
Additionally, as of September 1, 2008,
"The Texas Residential Construction
Commission" (TRCC) also requires
inspection of all new residential
construction projects and all
renovations where the value of the
project exceeds $10,000.00. These
inspections cover foundations, framing,
electrical, etc. TRCC
inspections do not include plumbing
inspections. Plumbing
inspections fall under the authority
of the Emerald Bay Municipal Utility
District.
The District has contracted, a fully
licensed building inspector to provide
all district required plumbing
inspections within the District
boundaries.
The required inspections are as follows:
1) Plumbing Rough-in Inspection
2) Plumbing Top-out Inspection
3) Plumbing Final Inspection
The District inspector is
fully licensed to perform all required
TRCC inspections. At the time
of Application for Services from the
district for plumbing inspection the applicant
MAY
request the district inspector to
perform the required TRCC inspections in
addition to the required plumbing
inspections.
There will be no
additional cost involved in performing
required TRCC inspections with the
exception of the required foundation
inspection. This inspection occurs after
the plumbing rough-in inspection and
before the plumbing top-out inspection
and cost an additional $150.00. All
other TRCC inspections such as
electrical, framing, etc, can be done at
the same time as the three (3) required
plumbing inspections. |
