All electrical, plumbing and HVAC work shall conform to the
applicable chapter of the Wisconsin Administrative Code. A copy of
said codes shall be kept on file in the offices of the Building Inspector
and the Clerk-Treasurer. The provisions of this section are intended
to specifically include, in addition to all buildings, all agricultural
outbuildings.
No building not previously used for residential, commercial
or industrial purposes shall hereafter be used for such purposes without
first obtaining from the Building Inspector a land use permit stating
that the water supply and plumbing facilities contained therein or
adjacent thereto are reasonably adequate to safeguard the health and
welfare of the occupants and that the installation thereof complies
with the provisions of this code and all other applicable laws and
ordinances. No changes in the water or plumbing facilities of any
existing building, whether in the form of addition, alteration or
discontinuance thereof, which may affect the adequacy of such facilities
from a standpoint of health and sanitation, shall be made without
first obtaining a similar land use permit. No changes in the use or
occupancy of existing buildings for dwelling, commercial or industrial
purposes, the effect of which change is to increase substantially
the amount or use or the number of persons using existing water and
plumbing facilities, shall be permitted without first obtaining from
the Building Inspector a land use permit stating that the existing
facilities are adequate to take care of the increased demand and to
safeguard the health and welfare of the users.
