Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Village of Chadwick, Illinois

Village of Chadwick’s own rules

• Building code adoptedPartial

  Plumbing installations inside the Village of Chadwick limits. Only the Illinois State Plumbing Code is adopted in the codebook; no other building code adoption appears in it.

  • The codebook is a February 2007 compilation (ordinance 349 adopted the village code on February 1, 1988). Later amendments are not shown.
  • The code is adopted 'as amended', so the state code version in force controls.

  “the illinois state plumbing code as amended is hereby incorporated by reference by the village.”

• Mandatory utility hookupConditional

  New potable-water and plumbing connections on land inside the Village of Chadwick limits that is part of the Village's sanitary water and sewer system. The provision covers any connection to potable water inside or outside the village if the area is part of that system.

  • The codebook does not define the area of the 'chadwick sanitary water and sewer system', so whether a given parcel is inside it must be confirmed with the village.
  • The requirement is quoted from the February 2007 codebook. Check the current code for amendments.
  • Connections must be installed under the Illinois state plumbing code (section 7-4-9(l)).

  “it is hereby made a requirement that all potable water, plumbing and any connection to potable water inside the village or outside the village, if the area in question is part of the chadwick sanitary water and sewer system, shall attach to the village water and sewer system”

• Permit processPartial

  Building sewer connections to the Village public sewer inside the Village of Chadwick limits. Only the inspection and connection step is shown; the rest of the permit process is not.

  • The codebook refers to a building sewer permit (section 7-4-3). Its application, fee and approval steps were not opened.
  • The connection is made under the superintendent's supervision, and the building sewer must conform to the building and plumbing codes.
  • Quoted from the February 2007 codebook. Check the current code for amendments.

  “the applicant for the building sewer permit shall notify the superintendent when the building sewer is ready for inspection and connection to the public sewer.”
