Babylon Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 199 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 199-24
Water supply
Operative Text
A. Potable water from an approved source shall be available at all times in residential buildings. The domestic water supply system of the building shall be connected to such approved source and shall not be subject to contamination. When supplied from a public source, the potable water supply system shall not be connected to private or unsafe water supplies. B. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so as to provide at all times a supply of water to plumbing fixtures, devices and appurtenances in sufficient volume and at a pressure adequate to enable them to function satisfactorily and without undue noise under all normal conditions of use. C. Water supply systems shall be installed and maintained so that water used for purposes of cooling or heating shall not be reintroduced into the domestic water supply system nor be distributed through such equipment to plumbing fixtures.
Babylon Village Code ch. 199 § 199-24 establishes that residential buildings must have a continuous supply of safe, potable water drawn from an approved source, with no cross-connections to private or unsafe supplies. Water distribution systems must deliver adequate volume and pressure to all plumbing fixtures under normal use, and must operate without undue noise. Water that has been used for heating or cooling purposes cannot be recirculated back into the domestic water supply or routed to plumbing fixtures.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 199-24, compliant residential property operators maintain an uninterrupted connection to an approved potable water source and ensure that no cross-connections exist between the domestic supply and any private, unsafe, or recirculated water systems. Routine inspections of plumbing systems help confirm that all fixtures receive sufficient pressure and volume and that heating or cooling water circuits remain fully isolated from the domestic supply. Keeping maintenance records and promptly addressing pressure drops, noise complaints, or system irregularities are practices generally associated with meeting this provision's requirements.

Section 199-24 of the Babylon Village Code gives residents the right to a continuous supply of safe, pressurized potable water in their homes, free from contamination or cross-connection with unsafe sources. If water pressure is inadequate, water appears contaminated, or plumbing produces undue noise, tenants may document the conditions and report them to the appropriate Babylon Village code enforcement or housing authority. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand available options, including how to raise a code violation as part of a housing complaint process.
