02 / Questions
Questions about this job here
Can I replace a stuck shutoff valve myself?
Only if you can close the water upstream of it. A valve that will not turn means the house shutoff has to be used instead, and a contractor can deal with the stuck valve.
Which fixture changes need a county permit?
A like-for-like faucet or toilet part swap does not. Changes to flow rate, or new piping, do.

Faucets, Fixtures and Valves in DeWitt
Fixture work in DeWitt follows the age of the house. With 18.7 percent of homes from 1939 or earlier and 75.8 percent from before 1980, valves and faucets that went in decades ago are part of the picture, and an old shutoff valve may no longer turn.
Your valves are your responsibility. OCWA's rules require two on the customer side, one inside the building wall and one on the outlet side of the meter, and the City's three-part rule leaves valves and fittings on either side of its meter with the homeowner. In both cases the owner decides when to replace them, and a fixture job goes more smoothly when the valve closes.
Not every change needs a permit. Swapping a faucet, a flush valve, a supply tube or a toilet fill mechanism for the same kind of part is permit-free in the county. Fitting a new fixture with a different flow rate, or running new pipe, is not. When you choose replacements, ask the contractor which old valves and fittings will stay and which will come out.
