Faucets, Fixtures and Valves in Marcellus
OCWA's rules say every customer must have two approved shutoff valves at their own cost: one inside the building wall within 12 inches of it, and one on the outlet side of the meter. They must also keep the plumbing and valves on both sides of the meter in repairable condition. For a Marcellus homeowner, those two valves are the first ones to test, because they decide how small a later repair can be kept.
Old houses mean old hardware. In the Village of Marcellus the median build year is 1952 and 81.5 percent of homes pre-date 1980. A village house from the 1950s may still have its original stops and supply lines, so ask the contractor which ones are worth replacing along with a faucet.
The permit side is light. A like-for-like swap of a faucet, flush valve, supply tube, fixture stop or toilet fill or flush part needs no county permit, and where OCWA line pressure is over 80 psi an approved pressure reducing valve is required on the inlet side of the meter.
