IRRIGATION AND WATER SPRINKLING SYSTEMS
§ 50.01 DEFINITION.
   For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definition shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
   IRRIGATION AND WATER SPRINKLING SYSTEMS. Any automatic or manually operated irrigation or water system which provides for the irrigation or watering of lawns, landscaping, gardens, or yards on any commercial, residential, or industrial property within the city. An irrigation and water sprinkling system shall include any automatically timer or manually started surface or underground system connected to any city water utility or private water supply.
(Ord. 231 , passed 6-21-2004)
§ 50.02 PERMITS REQUIRED.
   No person shall begin work on the installation, alteration, or repair of any back flow prevention device on any sprinkling system within the city until proper application has been made and approved by the Plumbing Inspector and a permit issued therefore. A permit shall not be required for sprinkling systems which have river water as the sole source of supply.
(Ord. 231 , passed 6-21-2004) Penalty, see § 10.99
§ 50.03 PERMITS FOR THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF BACK FLOW PREVENTION TO BE ISSUED TO LICENSED CONTRACTORS ONLY.
   Permits for the installation and operation of back flow prevention device shall be issued only to an individual with a valid master plumbing contractor license as provided by this subchapter, provided, however, anyone not so licensed may be issued a permit to do plumbing work which complies with the provisions of the minimum standard prescribed by the State Board of Health on premises or that part of premises owned and actually occupied by the owner’s residence. Resident owners may designate any individual to install sprinkling hoses and pipes.
(Ord. 231 , passed 6-21-2004)
§ 50.04 PLAN AND SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRED.
   At the time application is made to install, alter, or repair any irrigation or sprinkling system, plans and specifications together with the additional information that the Plumbing Inspector may require shall be submitted to the Plumbing Inspector. Plans and specifications for the proposed work must be filed with the Plumbing Inspector before the permit is granted, and during the progress of the work, if major changes are instituted which are not shown on the initial plan, specifications, or permit application. No permit shall be issued until the plans and specifications are found to conform with the Minnesota Plumbing Code, §§ 4715.2000 through 4715.2160, as they may be amended from time to time, which require back flow prevention devices for all sprinkling systems installed on any public or private water supply system within the City of Madison Lake.
