Where the paperwork comes from when there is no village hall
Jamesville is a hamlet rather than an incorporated village, so there is no village office. Building permits come from the town office covering the address, while the plumbing permit comes from the county either way: Onondaga County Plumbing Control issues them from the Metro Syracuse Treatment Facility administration building at 650 Hiawatha Boulevard West on 315-435-6614, and publishes a master list of plumbers licensed in the county. That list turns the word licensed into something you can check in under a minute before anyone starts work.
Close the record before you cost the work
757 of the 1,602 Jamesville records are unknown. The authority resolves that from color photographs of the pipe where it comes into the building and the portion up to the meter, or from a five minute home visit. Neither needs a plumber and neither costs anything.
Only a Certificate of Competency holder may take the permit
County local law restricts plumbing permits to holders of a Certificate of Competency as Master Plumbers or Plumbing Contractors Class B or C, and obtaining a permit on behalf of anyone else is itself an offense carrying up to 500 dollars or 100 days per violation.
The trench is inspected before it is closed
Plumbing Control requires the permit before any work except an emergency, an emergency permit on the first business day after, and states that work cannot be covered, backfilled or concealed before an inspection has been done.

What water service lines involves
A clean record, and 757 blanks worth closing
The state inventory holds 1,602 service lines under Jamesville with no confirmed lead service lines, no galvanized lines requiring replacement, 845 confirmed non lead and 757 unknown. Just over half the records have been identified and every identified one is non lead. A Jamesville homeowner reading about the Syracuse lead program can mostly set it down, and the useful step here is closing your own blank record rather than commissioning an investigation into a risk the published evidence does not show.

Jamesville water service questions
Do I have lead pipes in Jamesville?
The published record says nothing lead has been found here, and that is worth stating plainly rather than hedging. The state inventory holds 1,602 service lines under Jamesville with no confirmed lead service lines, no galvanized requiring replacement, 845 confirmed non lead and 757 unknown. Every identified line is non lead. If your own address is in the unknown column, closing it costs nothing: photographs of the pipe where it enters the building, or a short home visit from the authority. That is a far better use of an afternoon than paying anyone to investigate.
There is no village hall here. Who do I get a permit from?
The plumbing permit comes from the county wherever you are in Onondaga County, and it is issued by Plumbing Control from 650 Hiawatha Boulevard West in Syracuse, reachable on 315-435-6614. Jamesville is a hamlet rather than an incorporated village, so the building side of a job goes to the town office covering your address instead of to a village office. Plumbing Control also publishes a master list of plumbers licensed in the county, which is the quickest way to check the person standing at your door before work starts.
