The Chief Inspector of each of the duly authorized inspection agencies
is hereby authorized and deputized as agents of the Town of Manchester to
make inspections and reinspections of all electrical installations hereafter
described, and to approve or disapprove the same. In no event, however, will
the cost of expense of such inspections and reinspections be a charge against
the Town.
This chapter shall not be construed to relieve from or lessen the responsibility
of any person owning, operating, controlling or installing any electrical
wiring, devices, appliances or equipment for loss of life or damage to person
or property caused by any defect therein, nor shall the Town or the authorized
agencies be deemed to have assumed any such liability by reason of any inspection
made pursuant to this chapter.
It shall be a violation of this chapter for any person, firm or corporation
to install or cause to be installed, or to alter or repair, electrical wiring
for light, heat or power, in or on properties in the Town until an application
for inspection has been filed with the authorized inspection agency.
If no other penalty for violation of any part of this chapter or orders
issued in compliance with this chapter is provided otherwise by law, a person
violating such part of this chapter or such orders shall be punishable by
a fine of $250 or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days, or both, and each day
such violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, carrying with
it a fine of $50 for each additional day the violation continues.
An action or proceeding in the name of the Town of Manchester may be commenced
in any court of competent jurisdiction to compel compliance with or to restrain
violation of this chapter or orders issued in compliance with this chapter.
