Accredited plumbers play a crucial role in safeguarding the water systems in Cape Town by ensuring compliance with bylaws and codes of practice to prevent water wastage and contamination. Hiring accredited plumbers also helps the City manage water loss and illegal connections. Property owners must employ accredited plumbers for installing or modifying water installations, and these plumbers issue Certificates of Approval to validate the installation’s quality and legality. The certification process requires coordination with the City’s Water Inspectorate Unit, but it is essential to maintain the integrity of Cape Town’s water systems.
