In Purcell, we allow the homeowner to pull the permit if he lives in the house, but it still has to be installed to code. 18" off the floor if it's in garage, proper venting and combustion air, and proper drainage for the pop-off valve. You would not believe what some people will do to their own house with their family living in it just to save a permit fee. They won't and can't require you to update anything other than the water heater.</p></blockquote><p></p>
