Attention: All Licensed Plumbers and Fire Suppression Contractors

Hello Licensed Master Plumbers and Fire Suppression Contractors,

The Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) is receiving a significant number of permit requests with incomplete information. This can delay the permitting process and lead to a lack of required permits.

Please use our permit information guidelines to avoid future problems.

The below checklists outline the specific information needed for PWD-regulated permits:

• Checklist: New Construction Permit
• Checklist: Existing Building Permit

These files detail the required information for existing plumbing repairs and new plumbing services and laterals.

Important: If your permit information is incomplete, we cannot provide the permits.

Thank you,
Vincent Brindisi
PWD Permit Desk Supervisor
