A.
Adoption of the Illinois State Plumbing Code, 2014, with Amendments.
There is hereby adopted by the City of Le Roy for the purpose of establishing
rules and regulations for materials, construction, alteration and
inspection of all plumbing placed in, or in connection with, any building
or structure, a certain plumbing code known as the "Illinois State
Plumbing Code," particularly the 2014 Edition thereof, with such amendments
to said code as are published from time to time by the State of Illinois
with specific additions, deletions, insertions, modifications and
amendments as set forth in this chapter and referred to as the "Illinois
State Plumbing Code" or "code." The provisions of said code are hereby
adopted and incorporated as fully as if set out at length and the
provisions thereof as added, deleted, inserted, modified and amended
by this chapter shall be controlling in regard to all buildings and
structures within the corporate limits of the City.
B.
Amendments to the Illinois State Plumbing Code. The Illinois State
Plumbing Code, 2014, is amended as follows:
1.
Section 890.120 Definitions. Add to the existing definitions in its
appropriate alphabetical location, the following:
"Authorities having jurisdiction." Within its corporate limits,
the City of Le Roy shall be the "authorities having jurisdiction"
as that term is used in this Code.
2.
Section 890.120 Definitions - Building Classification. Add to the
existing language thereof, the following:
"Building classification," as used in this Code, shall refer
to building classifications set forth in the Building Code of the
City of Le Roy, as amended.
3.
Section 890.510 Grease Interceptor Requirements. Amend Section 890.510
by adding to the existing language thereof the following:
In all new construction and remodeling in which a grease interceptor
is required, only a grease interceptor with a capacity of no less
than 1,000 gallons placed outside of the building no closer than five
feet from the wall of the building shall be approved. If physical
limitations prohibit installation of a 1,000-gallon grease interceptor,
then the Plumbing Inspector may permit a 250-gallon interceptor if
the Plumbing Inspector believes that there are adequate safeguards
in place to prevent grease from entering the sewer system. Grease
interceptors may only be placed inside a building in the event of
a remodel of a building for which there is no space available outside
of the building for a grease interceptor, or where the expected use
of the property is that of a restaurant that will not cook food, but
serve only prepared foods that will produce so little grease as to
not require an exterior grease interceptor as determined by the Plumbing
Inspector. In the event that the use of the property becomes such
that an exterior grease interceptor is needed, the Plumbing Inspector
may order that an exterior grease interceptor be placed on the property.
All interior grease traps shall be Plumbing Drainage Institute approved
with a solid waste interceptor located before the grease trap.
4.
Section 890.1200 Water Service Sizing. Delete from Section 890.1200
the following: "Water service pipe and fittings shall be at least
3/4 inch diameter."
Add in place thereof the following:
"Water service pipe and fittings shall be at least one inch
in diameter, except that existing water service pipe and fittings
may be repaired or replaced with pipe and fittings at least 3/4 inch
in diameter."
5.
Section 890. Appendix A - Plumbing Materials, Equipment, Use Restrictions
and Applicable Standards. Amend Table A, Approved Materials for Water
Service Pipe, by adding the following at the end thereof:
"When polyethylene (PE) tubing is used as water service pipe,
it must meet ASTM D 2737 standards. Polyethylene (PE) pipe shall be
installed only with compression fittings with insert and clamp-type
fittings. All clamps shall be of corrosion-resistant material. The
inside diameter (ID) of any insert fitting shall not be less than
the minimum allowable size for water service as required by the City
of Le Roy ordinances and State Plumbing Code. PE tubing water service
shall be one continuous pipe from the curb stop or pig tail to the
building water meter. Every plastic, polyethylene (PE) or other nonmetallic
water service pipe shall have a solid 12 gauge blue sheathed coated,
suited for direct burial, tracer wire connected to the coupling or
curb stop secured to the service every six feet, unbroken, and accessible
at the water meter."
6.
Section 890. Appendix - Plumbing Materials, Equipment, Use Restrictions
and Applicable Standards. Amend Table A, Approved Materials for Water
Distribution Pipe, by adding at the end thereof:
"Every plastic, polyethylene (PE) or other nonmetallic water
distribution pipe which is not inside a building shall have a solid

Section 1A.1. Nothing in this Local Administration Portion is
intended to modify the obligations of persons performing plumbing
work in the City of Le Roy as required by the State Plumbing Code.
Rather, this section is intended to provide the means of obtaining
compliance with the State Plumbing Code.
Section 1A.1 State License Required. Except as specifically
otherwise provided in this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person,
firm or corporation to do or perform any plumbing, as that term is
defined in the Illinois State Plumbing Code as adopted and modified
hereby, within the corporate limits of the City of Le Roy without
being appropriately licensed under the provisions of the Illinois
State Plumbing License Law.[1] Notwithstanding the foregoing, all materials attached
to water supply mains, including water piping up to the outlet valve
of a backflow preventative device, must be installed by a licensed
plumber. All fire hydrants and water pipes downstream of the backflow
prevention device used exclusively for fire protection shall be installed
by a licensed plumber or a sprinkler fitter. EXCEPTION: The owner-occupant
of a single-family residence where he/she resides may, with the assistance
of any member of his/her family, personally carry on such house work
governed by this chapter without a plumbing license, provided that
such owner shall obtain a permit for any such work, shall call for
