based are correct, and that necessary legal authority has been obtained to construct the project. The
responsibility for the design of structural features and the efficiency of equipment must be taken by the project
designer. Approval is contingent upon satisfactory disposition of any requirements included in this report.
Special care should be taken to insure that the material and installation of the plumbing system are in accordance
with the provisions of the Minnesota Plumbing Code. A copy of the approved plans and specifications should
be retained at the project location for future reference.
