[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village

311. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Wisconsin Administrative Code, Electrical Code Chapter 316 and
all revisions, modifications, and amendments thereto are hereby adopted
by reference and made a part of this chapter and shall apply to all
classes of buildings to which said codes apply.
A.Â
Except as otherwise provided by this chapter, all installations of
electrical equipment shall conform to and comply with the State Electrical
Code, the Wisconsin Statutes, this chapter and any orders, rules and
regulations issued by authority thereof, and with approved electrical
standards for safety to persons and property. Where no specific standards
for safety are prescribed by the chapter or by the State Electrical
Code, conformity with the regulations set forth in the National Electrical
Code and in the National Electrical Safety Code shall be prima facie
evidence of conformity with approved standards for safety to persons
and property.
B.Â
No electric wiring or other equipment shall be installed or altered
without first securing a permit therefor from the Building Inspector,
except that minor repairs or replacements of broken or defective sockets,
switches, or base receptacles may be made without a permit. 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, and all later deviations from
such plan must be submitted to and approved by the Building Inspector.
C.Â
After roughing in the wiring of any building and before any such
work is covered up, or upon completion of any outside wiring construction
work, it shall be the duty of the person doing such work to notify
the Building Inspector who shall inspect, or cause to be inspected,
the same. Upon completion of such wiring, the Inspector shall be notified
and shall inspect or cause to be inspected the finished work.
