The City's Water and Sanitation Department is updating its database of licensed plumbers with the intention of converting it to a register for suitably accredited plumbers. This is in compliance with the City’s revised Water By-law, promulgated on 18 February 2011. This register will apply across the metropolitan area.

Plumbers are therefore invited to submit their details for listing in the proposed register. 
 
All plumbers who already have a permanent City plumbing licence must: 

• provide a copy of such licence 
  
• provide a certified copy of their I.D. document 
  
• if self-employed, provide the name and other details of the business 
  
• if working for an employer, provide details of such company 
  
• provide contact details, e.g. phone numbers, fax numbers and where applicable, an e-mail address. 
  
  

All plumbers who qualified after the promulgation of the City’s By-law on 1 September 2006, when the licencing process ceased, and would therefore not have been issued with a plumber’s licence by the City, must: 

• provide a certified copy of their plumber’s trade test certificate 
  
• provide a certified copy of their I.D. document 
  
• if self-employed, provide the name and other details of the business 
  
• if working for an employer, provide details of such company 
  
• provide contact details, e.g. phone numbers, fax numbers and where applicable, an e-mail address.
  
  

The above-mentioned documentation must be e-mailed to: CertificateOfCompliance@capetown.gov.za. Queries can be directed to the same e-mail address.
