The owner or occupant of any premises supplied with water through the village water system or village water mains shall repair or replace in the premises all leaking water fixtures or supply pipes, of any kind whatsoever, connected with said village water system or mains, and no reduction shall be made in water rents because of such leakage or the cost of such repair or replacement. In case the owner or occupant of the premises fails to repair or replace such leaking water fixtures or leaking supply pipes, the village may give notice to such owner or occupant that such leak exists and repairs or replacements shall be made within two days. If such repairs or replacements are not made, the village may cut off the water supply until such repairs or replacements are made, upon such notice as is reasonable in light of the magnitude of the leak. In no event shall the owner or occupant be entitled to greater notice than that provided for in § 283-23.
Installation of water piping and fixtures upon
the premises supplied with water by or through the village water system
or village water mains shall be done by or under the direction of
a licensed plumber who holds a license satisfactory to the Superintendent
of Public Works and who has given the village a certificate of insurance
in compliance with the Permit Insurance Requirements, which may be
amended by the Village Board from time to time as it deems necessary.
No building permit for any new building or for
any alteration to any existing building costing more than $1,000,
as estimated by the Engineer, shall hereafter be issued until such
applicant has made payment to the Village of Larchmont Water Department
in the amount as set forth in the Water Rates and Charges Schedule[1] for a remote meter reading conversion and until such applicant
has presented a receipt as evidence of the above transaction to the
Building Department of the Village of Larchmont.
