certificate for the work stating all the plumbing work and drainage work for
the house is compliant and all the plumbing and drainage is operational and
fit for use. A person does not contravene this section if the person uses a
toilet, shower, basin, sink or any other plumbing or drainage that is the
result of the permit work after the final inspection certificate is given.
