Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. I § 13-11 places the responsibility on property operators to ensure that all required plumbing is tied into a continuous water source and a health-officer-approved sewage disposal system. Compliant operators verify that any property within reach of public sewer lines is connected to those lines, and they maintain documentation of health officer approval for any sewage disposal system in use. Routine inspections of plumbing connections help confirm ongoing compliance with this standard.

Section 13-11 of the Ansonia Code of Ordinances ch. 13, art. I establishes a right to plumbing that is connected to a continuous water supply and an approved sewage disposal system, with a public sewer connection required where one is available. Tenants who believe their unit lacks compliant plumbing connections may consider documenting the condition and reporting it to the Ansonia health officer or a relevant municipal code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations can also help residents understand what options are generally available when a property appears to fall short of this standard.
