master plumber Explanation: This is the correct formal translation, but I suspect the person in question would probably prefer "chief plumbing engineer" or something similar. |

Water connection engineer Explanation: This is the kernel of Agneta's discussion entry. I think that the point is that the 'rörmästare' is the official in the water company from whom one has to order connection. In UK we have privatised all the municipal water companies and now one has to go through the dreaded "Customer services" see https://www.southernwater.co.uk/water-services |
