RE: Amendments to Chapter 17, Plumbing Code
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance to amend Chapterl7 of the Hawaii County Code, regarding
Plumbing Code. The Plumbing Code has been a part of the Building Industry in Hawaii
County since May 22, 1947. During these past 58 years we have adopted various editions of the
Uniform Plumbing Code. The last is the 1991 Edition of the Uniform Plumbing Code back in
November 8, 1993. The Uniform Plumbing Code is an excellent code of minimum standard for
construction, however, certain sections in the code do no apply to the local construction
conditions/situations. For this reason, the County of Hawaii has adopted amendments to the
Uniform Plumbing Code to address local conditions/situations. As new editions of Plumbing
Codes were adopted the amendments were adopted with revisions.
The County of Hawaii presented Revisions to the Plumbing Code amendments to community at
two separate meetings. One was held at the Mayor's Office in Kona with the majority of the
attendees being professional engineers and architects. The second was in Hilo, which was
attended by the public and professional engineers and architects.
Significant changes to the amendments to the Plumbing Code are:
Format change throughout to model format used by the City and County of Honolulu. Each
change in the UPC is now described and set out in a paragraph rather than a section. This
change was made to improve the readability of the code.
• Permits shall not be required in the case of any replacement work for the following:
replacement or repair of garbage disposals, faucets and fixtures, to include sinks, water
closets and heaters for non-commercial occupancies only.
• Permits will be required when such repairs do involve or require the replacement or
rearrangement of valves or pipes.
Comm. No.

• All repairs or replacement work shall be done by a licensed plumber licensed in the State of
Hawaii.
• There is no increase in plumbing permit fees.
We are requesting to replace Chapter 17 in its entirety with the amendments in this bill.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
