Our Field Work Guide includes typical water service information including inspection checklists, and diagrams for both municipal water and sewer services.

Inspections are required to verify plumbing is in compliance with all applicable New York State and local building codes. Do not cover, bury or otherwise hide any plumbing prior to having it properly inspected and approved by Bolton Point staff. At the time the plumbing permit is issued, the number of inspections included in the permit are explained. Additional inspection trips can be provided at additional cost.

Bolton Point requires household pressure regulators.
