Title/Name/Summary
An Ordinance Amending Title 5 (Building) Chapter 2 (Plumbing Code) Section 5-4-4
History
As the governing document for the community, the Village Code is vital to a successfully managed municipality. Included in the Village Code are local laws that describe how the municipal government is structured, the duties and services the Village is responsible for, how public safety is provided in the community, the regulations that help ensure properties are used and maintained properly, and much more. As part of its continuing improvement efforts, the Village is undergoing a thorough review of the Village Code to update the existing code and ensure compliance with general law, remove obsolete and/or redundant provisions and supplement with best practices and necessary additions. While updates to various individual portions of the code are routine, this is the first time that the entire code will be subjected to a full review.
Title 5, Chapter 4 Plumbing Code, Section 5-4-4: Violations
This section is being updated to add a penalty section to the plumbing code, Section
5-4-4 will be amended to Violations and Penalties. Additionally, a penalty section is being added to the section that references the Fine Schedule. The Fine Schedule was updated to include fines of $250.00-$2,000.00.
The remaining sections of Title 5 were updated in the Fine Schedule to reflect the new minimum fine amount being increased from $1,000.00 to $2,000.00
This matter was reviewed and recommended at the March 16, 2026 Committee of the Whole meeting and is now is now before the Village Board for consideration.
