or waste pipe to carry domestic sewage, storm water or industrial

[Prior code § 16.02; amended by Ord. 214, 2002;
Ord. 217, 2002]
The provisions and regulations of Ch. 145, Wis. Stats., and
Chs. H61, H62 and H63, Wis. Adm. Code adopted by the State Department
of Health and Social Services are made a part of this chapter by reference,
and shall extend over and govern the installation of all plumbing
installed, altered or repaired in the Village.
[Prior code § 16.03; amended by Ord. 217, 2002]
There is created the position of plumbing inspector who shall
be appointed by the Village Board, and shall serve for an indefinite
term subject to removal at will, without cause, by the Village Board.
He or she shall perform such duties as are provided for in Section
145.05(1), Wis. Stats. and shall make monthly and annual reports to
the Village Board.
He or she shall be under the direct supervision of the Village
Board and shall enforce all of the provisions of this chapter. He
or she shall prepare suitable forms for applications, permits and
other reports.
[Prior code § 16.04; amended by Ord. 214, 2002;
Ord. 217, 2002]
A.
The plumbing inspector may enter all buildings in the Village in
the performance of his or her duties during reasonable hours, and
any person who shall willfully or knowingly resist or obstruct the
plumbing inspector in the performance of his or her duties shall be
guilty of a violation of this section.
B.
The plumbing inspector may withhold approval of an application for
a plumbing permit to any person who has not complied with a lawful
order of the plumbing inspector. The person refused such a permit
may appeal within 10 days to the Village Board.
C.
The plumber in charge shall notify the plumbing inspector whenever
any work is ready for inspection (i.e., soil, vent, underground drain,
or final inspection). All plumbing work shall be left exposed until
such time as the inspector has completed his or her examination and
inspection. When, in the opinion of the inspector, an additional test
is necessary, he or she may require a water or air test on any part
of the entire installation.
[Prior code § 16.05; amended by Ord. 217, 2002]
A.
No plumbing shall be installed in the Village without first filing
an application and receiving a permit. This shall also apply to any
building located outside the Village before such building may be connected
to the water or sewer system of the Village. Each application must
be approved by the local plumbing inspector before a permit to install
plumbing may be issued. Licensed master plumbers only may receive
such permits, except a permit may be issued to a property owner to
install plumbing in a single-family residence which is owned and occupied
by such owner, as his or her home.
B.
A permit shall be applied for and received before excavating in any
street, alley or other public way to repair, alter or install plumbing.

or cash iron pipe with approved joints made air and water tight.

pipe. When the pipe is of two inches diameter it may be, and when
of greater diameter it shall be, cast iron pipe.
