A city may issue a permit to allow a drain layer, to create a new connection, to authorize a seal off, or to make repairs. It also may issue excavation permits to allow a crew to install a service lateral. The General tab helps an agency track permit numbers, permit issuance details, permit dates, and fees issued or paid. It can also be used to record the name of the drain plumber that installed the service lateral, the plumber's license number, and plumbing inspection results.
