No person shall install any plumbing work in any building structure or premises with the intention of connecting such plumbing work with the pipes or mains of the village waterworks system or make any alteration of or addition to any pipe, valve, fixture or apparatus already installed, unless such person has first obtained a permit for the doing of such work from the president of the village and the committee on sewer and water, and such permit shall not be construed as conveying any authority for the use of water from such pipe, fixtures, or apparatus, excepting for the purpose of making necessary tests.
Where any fixtures, openings or apparatus are installed under the provisions of this section, the stopcock nearest the same shall be shut off upon completion of the work authorized, and the president of the village and the committee on sewer and water shall be notified of such completion within ten (10) days following; providing however, that if permission for service to the building, structure or premises or portion thereof has been granted, or if such plumbing, pipes, fixtures or openings are supplied by a metered service, said stopcock need not be shut off.
In any building, structure or premises occupied by a large consumer where there are no service pipes other than metered service pipes, the president of the village and the committee on sewer and water may issue for the duration of any calendar year, permission to make such addition to or alteration of pipes and such other plumbing work as may be necessary. Provided such work is performed and installed entirely within such building, structure or premises, and entirely within the area of meter control; but nothing herein contained shall be construed as authority for the installing of any additional service pipe.
Where a stopcock has been shut off as provided in this section it shall not be again turned on until a proper permit shall be in the possession of the person about to perform such turning on.
The president of the village and the committee on sewer and water may withhold or shut off service from any building, structure or premises or to any portion thereof, in which shall be found any plumbing work, fixture or apparatus which has not been installed in accordance with the provisions of this section, until such plumbing work, fixture or apparatus has been disconnected, or until a proper permit has been issued; and in addition the president of the village and the committee on sewer and water may require the person responsible for such illegal installation to pay to the village such sum of money as the said president of the village and the committee on sewer and water may deem properly due for any water rates or charges which should have been paid for the period during which such fixture or apparatus has been installed.
