Supply (Rochester Housing Code)
Operative Text
The water supply system shall be installed and maintained to provide a supply of water to plumbing fixtures, devices and appurtenances in sufficient volume and at pressures adequate to enable the fixtures to function properly, safely, and free from defects and leaks.
Rochester, Minn., Code of Ordinances § 7 § 7-6-14 establishes that a residential property's water supply system must be properly installed and kept in good working order so that all plumbing fixtures, devices, and related components receive adequate water volume and pressure to operate correctly, safely, and without leaks or defects. The rule focuses on the ongoing condition of the system, not just its initial installation. Both the physical integrity of the supply lines and the functional performance of connected fixtures fall within the scope of this requirement.
