[Amended 9-1-1994 by L.L. No. 1-1994]
The chief or supervising inspector and each
of the duly appointed inspectors of any approved electrical inspection
firm are hereby authorized and deputized as agents of the Town to
make inspections and reinspections of all electrical installations
hereinafter described and to approve or disapprove the same. In no
event, however, will the cost or expense of such inspections and reinspections
be a charge against the Town. The name of each deputy inspector who
may perform service in the Town of Walworth shall be filed with the
Building Inspector in the Town of Walworth, together with his or her
name and address. Such filing shall be kept current at all times by
the approved electrical inspection firm. The list shall be furnished
and signed by an officer of the firm.
The schedule of rates charged for inspection
shall be filed with the Town Clerk and the Building Inspector. In
no event may a fee be charged in excess of the rates on file at the
time the inspection or reinspection is performed.
This article 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 an approved electrical
inspection firm be deemed to have assumed any such liability by reason
of any inspection made pursuant to this article.
