City of Whitewater Delegated to Enforce Commercial Building Codes

MADISON – Department of Commerce (Commerce) Secretary Jack L. Fischer, A.I.A., today announced that Commerce has delegated the City of Whitewater, Walworth County, the authority to conduct inspections of all commercial buildings located within the municipality.

“The Town of Ellsworth joins more than 190 other state municipalities that have been delegated the authority to conduct inspections on behalf of Commerce,” Fischer said.  “This gives municipalities the opportunity to provide services on behalf of the state as well as their own enforcement activities on projects within the scope of their delegated authority. Typically municipalities can provide more immediate service to local projects.”

Under agent delegation agreement, Bruce Parker and Don Jones will be responsible for inspections for the City of Whitewater.
