A. Adoption Of Code: There is hereby adopted as a portion of the plumbing regulations for the village, the international plumbing code, 2014 edition, adopted by the village of Milan, Illinois, and the Illinois plumbing code, adopted by the Illinois department of public health, effective February 1, 2004, and all amendments made and to be made subsequent to February 1, 2004.

(Ord. 1570, 9-17-2012; amd. Ord. 1776, 11-6-2023)
A. In the event of a conflict in the interpretation of the provisions of the international plumbing code with the provisions of the Illinois plumbing code and/or subsequent amendments thereto, then the provisions of the Illinois plumbing code shall govern.
C. Where reference is made in the Illinois plumbing code adopted in subsection 10-5-2A of this chapter to the word "department", said word refers to the village plumbing inspector and does not refer to the department of public health of the state of Illinois.
D. All references to the "plumbing board" herein contained refer to the "board of appeals" created by the provisions of section 10-1B-1 of this title, which board shall have all of the powers and duties conferred upon the plumbing board in the international plumbing code as well as those powers as set forth in this chapter. (Ord. 1570, 9-17-2012; amd. Ord. 1776, 11-6-2023)
A. Permit Required: No person, firm, or corporation shall engage in or perform "plumbing" in the village without first obtaining a permit from the plumbing inspector.
B. Eligibility For Permit:
1. Permits shall be granted only to those persons eligible under the provisions of "an act of the Illinois legislature in relation to the licensing and regulation of plumbers, to repeal a certain act therein named, and to prescribe penalties for the violation thereof", approved May 1, 1986.
2. In order to be eligible to obtain a permit, any person, firm or corporation engaging in or performing plumbing as a licensed plumber shall register as such in the office of the plumbing inspector, furnishing satisfactory proof that such person is duly licensed by the state of Illinois
C. Issuance To Owners Of Single-Family Dwellings: Any permit required by this chapter may be issued to any person to do any work regulated by this chapter in a single-family dwelling used exclusively for living purposes, including the usual accessory buildings and quarters in connection with such buildings; provided, that the person is the bona fide owner of such dwelling, and that the same is occupied by said owner, and that said owner shall personally purchase all material and perform all labor in connection therewith; and provided, that all workmanship methods and materials shall meet the requirements of these plumbing regulations.
D. Plans And Specifications: No permit shall be issued until plans and specifications showing the proposed work in necessary detail have been submitted to the plumbing inspector, and it has been determined from examination of such plans and specifications that they gave assurance that the work will conform to the provisions of this chapter. If a permit is denied, the applicant may submit revised plans and specifications without payment of an additional fee. If, in the course of work, it is found necessary to make any change from the plans and specifications on which a permit has been issued, amended plans and specifications shall be submitted, and a supplementary permit, subject to the same conditions applicable to original application for permit, shall be obtained to cover the change.
E. Expiration Of Permit; Renewal: Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within one hundred eighty (180) days after its issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the time the work is commenced. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than one hundred eighty (180) days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.
F. Correction Of Errors: The issuance of a permit based on plans and specifications shall not prevent the plumbing inspector from thereafter requiring the correction of errors in said plans and specifications or from preventing construction operations being carried on thereunder when in violation of these plumbing regulations or any other ordinance or from revoking any certificate of approval when issued in error.
G. Exemptions From Permit: No permit shall be required in the case of any repair work as follows: the stopping of leaks in drainpipes or soil, waste, or vent pipes; provided, however, that should any trap, drainpipe, or soil, waste, or vent pipe be or become defective and it becomes necessary to remove and replace the same with new material in any part or parts, the same shall be considered as new work, and a permit shall be procured and inspection shall be made as herein provided. No permit shall be required for the clearing of stoppage or the repairing of leaks in pipes, valves, or fixtures, when such repairs do not involve or require the replacement or rearrangement of valves, pipes, or fixtures.
