A.
Required. Before any plumbing work is started in a
building, any additions or alterations are made to old work, a house
sewer connection is made, a septic tank is cleaned or new water distribution
pipes are installed, an application on regular printed forms properly
filled out in ink and signed by a licensed master plumber shall be
filed in the office of the Village Clerk. Inspection fees as described
herein, together with plans and descriptions in duplicate showing
and describing the proposed work, shall accompany the application.
B.
Not required. Where only stoppages are removed or
leaks repaired or where plumbing fixtures are replaced without altering
or disturbing any drain, soil, waste or vent pipe no application or
permit will be required. New fixtures replacing old fixtures must
be vented in accordance with this chapter, regardless of the venting
of the existing fixtures.[1]
[Amended 1-13-1986 by L.L. No. 3-1986; 12-21-1987 by L.L. No. 6-1987]
A.
Applicability of County of Nassau regulations. All
regulations adopted by the County of Nassau governing discharge into
a connection to the county sewer facilities are hereby made a part
of these regulations and must be complied with by the applicant or
owner of the premises involved.
B.
Application. A separate application must be filed
for each sewer connection to a building. These applications shall
be signed by the fee owner of the premises and the owner's plumber,
who must be specifically authorized by such fee owner to make such
application. No village permit shall be issued unless a permit from
the County of Nassau to connect with the county sewer facilities has
previously been obtained and is presented with the above-mentioned
application for a village permit. This application shall not include
any change or alteration to plumbing inside of a building, for which
a separate application must be made as provided herein.
C.
Certificate of compliance. Immediately upon approval
by the Plumbing Inspector of the installation of a sewer connection
to a building, a certificate of compliance shall be issued to the
plumber and a copy sent to the owner. In event that the installation
of a sewer to a building has not been completed and approved within
six months after the date of issuance of the permit the deposit referred
to in this chapter shall be forfeited.
The plumbing plans shall consist of such floor
plans and sections as may be necessary to show clearly all the work
to be done, including but not limited to all sewers, drains, dry wells,
soil, waste and vent pipelines, the location of fixtures and their
traps and connections. All plans shall be drawn in ink or may be the
prints of such drawings.
No work shall proceed until the plumbing plans
and specifications referred to in this chapter shall have been approved,
in writing, by the Plumbing Inspector.
Modification of approved plans, or of the work
described therein, shall not be permitted unless such changes have
been previously allowed by the Plumbing Inspector on written application
signed by the owner or architect.
[Amended 5-16-1988 by L.L. No. 5-1988]
A.
Plans are approved upon the condition that such approval
expires by its own limitation six months from the date of the permit
unless work under it is then in progress. If work is not begun under
approved plans within that time, then no work shall be commenced unless
and until a new application and plans are filed and approved in accordance
with the provisions of this chapter and a renewal fee equal to 1/2
of the required fee for such permit is paid to the Village Clerk.
B.
Provided that work has been commenced within the time required in accordance with Subsection A hereof, all work must be completed within one year of the date of the permit. If work is not completed within such time, such permit shall expire by its own limitation and all work in progress must cease. Such permit may be extended for an additional three-month period upon filing with the Village Clerk an application therefor and payment of a renewal fee equal to 1/2 of the original permit fee. Such extension shall be granted, provided that the Plumbing Inspector shall have inspected the work and found it being performed in accordance with the application and approved plans.
C.
After work is completed in accordance with the approved plans, the applicant shall notify the Village Clerk that the work is ready for final testing and inspection in accordance with Article VI hereof. No new plumbing system or work shall be used unless and until the Plumbing Inspector has conducted the final tests and inspection and a certificate of completion has been issued.
Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the owner
of a residence building occupied or to be occupied by the owner and
his or her family from installing plumbing in said building, provided
that application is made and a permit issued for said installation
and work is done strictly in accordance with this chapter.
