Killingly, Conn., Code of Ordinances ch. 4, art. III § 4-70
Bathing facilities
Operative Text
Section 4-70 Bathing facilities Within every dwelling unit there shall be a room which affords privacy to a person within said room and which is equipped with a bathtub or shower in good working condition. Said bathtub or shower may be in the same room as the flush water closet or in another room and shall be properly connected to a water supply system which provides at all times an adequate amount of heated and unheated water under pressure and which is connected to a sewer system. Water inlets for bathtubs shall be located above the overflow rim of these facilities.
Section 4-70 of Killingly's Rental Housing Standards Code requires that every dwelling unit contain a private bathroom equipped with a functioning bathtub or shower. The fixture must be connected to both a pressurized water supply that delivers hot and cold water at all times and to a sewer system. Bathtub water inlets must be positioned above the overflow rim, and the bathtub or shower may share a room with the toilet or occupy a separate room.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Section 4-70, compliant rental operators ensure that each dwelling unit contains a private room with a bathtub or shower maintained in good working condition. Operators generally verify that the fixture is continuously supplied with both heated and unheated water under adequate pressure and that it is properly connected to the sewer system. Routine inspections of water inlet placement on bathtubs — confirming they sit above the overflow rim — are part of standard maintenance practice under this provision.

Section 4-70 gives tenants the right to a private bathing facility with a working bathtub or shower that has consistent hot and cold running water and proper sewer drainage. If a bathtub or shower is broken, lacks adequate water pressure or temperature, or is otherwise not meeting the standard described in this provision, tenants may have grounds to raise a housing code violation. General enforcement paths can include filing a complaint with Killingly's local housing or code enforcement office, or consulting a tenant-rights organization familiar with Connecticut housing law.
