A. 
General requirements. An adequate supply of water shall be provided for mobile homes, service buildings and other accessory facilities as required by this chapter. Where a public water supply system of satisfactory quantity, quality and pressure is available, the connection shall be made thereto, and its supply shall be used exclusively. Where public water is not available, the development of a private water supply system shall be approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection or the Township, whichever has jurisdiction. In any instance where public sewer and water facilities are available and are capable of being extended to the development site, the developer shall connect the project to such facilities. If the cost of the connector facility or line is more than the cost for the installation of an interim treatment facility, the developer shall not be required to connect to the public system. Central water service shall be supplied to each structure to be erected in the development. A fire hydrant shall be provided within 600 feet of each structure.
B. 
Construction specifications. Water distribution systems shall be constructed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the appropriate water provider.
