Based on the Town's own Building Permit Application and Municipal Code, Haxtun appears to run its own plumbing review/inspection under its locally adopted 2021 IPC (HMC § 150.10) — the state-inspector language on the Town's permit form applies explicitly and only to electrical work, with no equivalent statement for plumbing.
