Local Surrey Plumbing Codes and Bylaws

In Surrey, British Columbia, plumbing work is governed by a combination of municipal bylaws and provincial regulations. Here's an overview of the key codes and bylaws you should be aware of.

Municipal Plumbing Bylaws

1. Surrey Plumbing By-law No. 6569 (1981)
   This bylaw outlines the requirements for plumbing installations within the city. It includes provisions on permit issuance, inspections, and compliance with approved plans. Notably, any alterations to the approved plumbing work must be authorized by the Plumbing Inspector.
2. Surrey Building Bylaw No. 17850 (2012)
   While primarily focused on building construction, this bylaw also addresses plumbing aspects related to building projects. It mandates that all mechanical, electrical, plumbing, drainage, and gas installations necessary for construction must comply with the British Columbia Building Code.
3. Surrey Waterworks Cross Connection Control By-law No. 17988 (2013)
   This bylaw regulates the installation and maintenance of backflow preventers to protect the city's water supply from contamination. It applies to both new and existing facilities and mandates compliance with the BC Building Code and CSA B64.10 standards.

Provincial Plumbing Code

• BC Plumbing Code (Part of the BC Building Code)

The BC Plumbing Code sets the minimum requirements for plumbing installations in buildings to ensure safety and health. It applies to new construction, alterations, and repairs across the province, including Surrey.

Surrey Permitting and Inspection Processes

Separate plumbing permits are required for any plumbing work in Surrey. These permits must be obtained before commencing work and are subject to inspections to ensure compliance with the relevant bylaws and codes.

Plumbing inspections are conducted by the city's Plumbing Inspectors. The daily inspection schedule is available online, updated daily after 9:40 am on each business day.

Water Source and Pressure Considerations

Surrey sources its water primarily from the Fraser River, but it also draws from groundwater supplies. The city's water supply is managed by the Metro Vancouver Water District, which ensures the water meets provincial standards and is treated for safe consumption.

Water pressure is vital for ensuring that plumbing systems function correctly and efficiently in homes and businesses. In Surrey, the water pressure in the municipal water system is regulated and managed to meet the needs of various properties. The ideal residential water pressure ranges from 40 to 60 psi (pounds per square inch), though this can vary depending on the area and specific requirements. If water pressure falls below this range, it may result in low flow or weak water delivery, which can affect appliances and fixtures. Conversely, if it exceeds 80 psi, there could be risks to pipes and plumbing fixtures.
