All water pipes, water services and plumbing
fixtures, works and instrumentalities that use and operate with water

of the City of Oswego, shall conform to, comply with and meet the

Plumbing Code of the City of Oswego and the New York State Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code[1] and Public Health Law of the State of New York. All such

main of a water district, he shall also file his inspection report
and certification with the water district or town official in charge
thereof. In the event that such inspector finds that such water pipes,
water services and plumbing fixtures, works and instrumentalities
do not conform to and meet the prescribed standards and requirements,
then he shall promptly notify, in writing, the owner of such water
pipes, water services and plumbing fixtures, works and instrumentalities
and the plumber and/or contractor installing the same, specifying
generally wherein such pipes, services and plumbing fixtures, works
and instrumentalities do not conform to and meet the prescribed standards
and requirements.
Any person who shall turn on a supply of water
from any such water main to any such water pipe, water service and
plumbing fixtures, works and instrumentalities before the inspection
herein required has been made and the inspection report and certificate
of compliance therewith has been filed as herein required shall, upon
conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not more than one hundred
dollars ($100.) or to imprisonment in the Oswego County Jail for not
more than three (3) months or to both such fine and imprisonment.
