Hot and cold water
Operative Text
Every kitchen sink, lavatory basin and bathtub or shower required under the provisions of this division shall be properly connected to both hot and cold water lines.
Section 12-58 of Mount Carmel's Housing Code establishes that certain plumbing fixtures — specifically kitchen sinks, lavatory basins, and bathtubs or showers — must be connected to both hot and cold water supply lines. The rule applies to all such fixtures that are required under the broader provisions of the same division of the code. This is a baseline habitability standard ensuring that required fixtures are fully functional, not merely present.
