Under Tuckahoe Code ch. 12 § 12-61, compliant property operators ensure that every dwelling unit and rooming house is connected to a potable water source at all times. Operators routinely inspect hot and cold water outlets to confirm that pressure remains adequate at every fixture. Addressing plumbing deficiencies promptly — such as low pressure, pipe failures, or contamination issues — is consistent with meeting this standard.
