Spring Valley, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 147 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 147-52
Equipment to be liquidtight
Operative Text
Fuel oil shall be received, stored and conveyed by means of fixed liquidtight equipment.
Section 147-52 of Spring Valley's Code of Ordinances establishes that fuel oil must be handled exclusively through fixed, liquidtight equipment at every stage — receiving, storage, and conveyance. The rule is designed to prevent leaks, spills, and contamination by ensuring that no fuel oil moves through temporary, open, or non-sealed systems. This applies to any property or facility where fuel oil is present in Spring Valley, N.Y.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under ch. 147 § 147-52, property owners and managers who use fuel oil heating systems are generally expected to ensure that all related equipment — including tanks, pipes, fittings, and transfer mechanisms — is permanently installed and fully liquidtight. Compliant operators routinely inspect these systems for leaks, deterioration, or improper connections that could compromise the sealed nature of the equipment. Keeping maintenance records and scheduling periodic professional inspections are practices commonly associated with meeting this type of fixed-equipment standard.
