Glastonbury Code of Ordinances ch. 9, art. III § 9-51 gives tenants the right to a dwelling unit that includes a properly equipped kitchen area with cooking facilities, dry and refrigerated storage, and a functioning sink connected to pressurized water and sewage systems. If a sink is broken, lacks water pressure, or is improperly connected, this provision may be relevant to a housing complaint or code-enforcement inquiry with the appropriate Glastonbury town authority.
