The construction, reconstruction, installation and alteration of all plumbing, drainage and plumbing ventilation shall conform to Wis. Stats. Chapter 145 and the Wisconsin State Plumbing Code adopted by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, Wis. Adm. Code Chs. SPS 381 to 387, and all subsequent amendments thereto, which are hereby adopted made a part of this chapter by reference.
Except for emergency leakage or repairs, no plumbing or drainage of any kind shall be installed or altered without first securing a permit therefor from the Building Inspector. The application for such permit shall be on a form furnished by the Building Inspector and shall state clearly the work planned, alterations to be made, and equipment and materials to be used. All later deviations from such plan must be submitted to and approved by the Building Inspector. Plumbing permit fees shall be charged as established by resolution of the Village Board. Upon approval of the plans and application by the Building Inspector and payment of the fee, an plumbing permit shall be issued.
All plumbing work for which a plumbing permit is required shall be done only by a plumber licensed or certified by the Wisconsin Department of Commerce, except that a property owner may make repairs or installations in a single-family building owned and occupied by him as his home, provided that a permit is issued and the work is done in compliance with the provisions of this chapter. License or certification shall be verified by the Building Inspector, and no separate Village license or certification is required.
The Building Inspector who conducts plumbing inspections shall obtain and maintain the required certifications by the Department of Commerce for commercial or residential plumbing inspections. After roughing in the plumbing of any building and before any such work is covered up, it shall be the duty of the person doing such work to notify the Building Inspector before such work is covered up, and the Building Inspector shall at once inspect or cause to be inspected the work. If the Building Inspector finds that the work conforms to the State Plumbing Code or other requirements under this chapter, the Building Inspector shall issue a certificate of compliance which shall contain the date and an outline of the result of such inspection, a duplicate of which shall be filed by location in the office of the Building Inspector. No person shall use or permit to be used any plumbing or drainage until it has been inspected and approved by the Building Inspector. Concealment of plumbing work before inspection or failure to comply with an order of the Building Inspector shall constitute a violation of this chapter, may result in revocation of the plumbing permit, and/or may require the unconcealment of such plumbing work at the sole cost of the owner. It shall be unlawful to use any such plumbing equipment until such certificate has been issued.
