<p class="MsoNormal">Aside with agreeing with your interpretation of 489, I can’t comment on the specifics of your issue. However, I’ve dealt with marinas and septic systems, and I would be surprised if someone could construct a sewage pump-out facility at
a marina without the approval of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. It would be an area of investigation.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I wanted to know if anyone had insight into whether a license is required for installation of sewage pumpout facilities (equipment and installation) at a privately owned marina in Florida. It seems that such
work falls within the definitions listed below under chapter 489 for plumbing contractor and/or septic tank contractor, but we have received some unverified information that such work may not require a license because the pumpout facility is not connected
to a city sewer system. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

piping, irrigation systems, and solar heating water systems and all appurtenances, apparatus, or equipment used in connection therewith, including boilers and pressure process piping and including the installation of water, natural gas, liquefied petroleum
gas and related venting, and storm and sanitary sewer lines. The scope of work of the plumbing contractor also includes the design, if not prohibited by law, and installation, maintenance, repair, alteration, or extension of air-piping, vacuum line piping,
oxygen line piping, nitrous oxide piping, and all related medical gas systems; fire line standpipes and fire sprinklers if authorized by law; ink and chemical lines; fuel oil and gasoline piping and tank and pump installation, except bulk storage plants; and
pneumatic control piping systems, all in a manner that complies with all plans, specifications, codes, laws, and regulations applicable. The scope of work of the plumbing contractor applies to private property and public property, including any excavation
work incidental thereto, and includes the work of the specialty plumbing contractor. Such contractor shall subcontract, with a qualified contractor in the field concerned, all other work incidental to the work but which is specified as being the work of a

gas dealer, or category V LP gas installer, as defined in s. 527.01, who is licensed under chapter 527 or an authorized employee of a public natural gas utility or of a private natural gas utility regulated by the Public Service Commission when disconnecting
and reconnecting water lines in the servicing or replacement of an existing water heater. A plumbing contractor may perform drain cleaning and clearing and install or repair rainwater catchment systems; however, a mandatory licensing requirement is not established
