North Collins, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 103 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 103-26
Water supply
Operative Text
A. Potable water from an approved source shall be available at all times in residential buildings. The domestic water supply system of the building shall be connected to such approved source and shall not be subject to contamination. When supplied from a public source, the potable water supply system shall not be connected to private or unsafe water supplies. B. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so as to provide at all times a supply of water to plumbing fixtures, devices and appurtenances in sufficient volume and at pressures adequate to enable them to function satisfactorily and without undue noise under normal conditions of use. C. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so that water used for purposes of cooling or heating shall not be reintroduced into the domestic water supply system nor be distributed through such equipment to plumbing fixtures. D. Hot-water supply system shall be provided with safety devices arranged to relieve hazardous pressures and excessive temperatures.
North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-26 establishes baseline standards for water supply in residential buildings. It requires that potable water from an approved source be continuously available, that the supply system maintain adequate pressure and volume for all plumbing fixtures without undue noise, and that water used for heating or cooling not re-enter the domestic supply. Additionally, hot-water systems must include safety devices to guard against dangerous pressure and temperature levels.

Under North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-26, compliant residential property operators ensure that potable water from an approved source is connected and available at all times, with no cross-connections to private or unsafe supplies. They maintain water pressure and volume sufficient for all plumbing fixtures to function properly and quietly, keep heating and cooling water circuits isolated from the domestic supply, and install and service pressure and temperature relief devices on hot-water systems.

North Collins Code ch. 103 § 103-26 gives residential tenants the right to a continuous supply of safe, adequately pressurized potable water and properly maintained hot-water systems with functioning safety devices. If these conditions are not met—such as persistent low pressure, contamination concerns, or missing relief valves—tenants may document the conditions and report them to the local code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand available options, including raising a code violation as a defense in relevant proceedings.
