The current regulations and rate order promulgated by the Wisconsin
Public Service Commission governing the Village of Belleville Water
Utility are adopted and incorporated herein by reference.
The waterworks system shall not be combined with the sewage
disposal system under § 66.0819, Wis. Stats. Each system
shall be operated by the Village as a separate public utility.
The Belleville waterworks shall introduce approximately one
to two parts of fluoride to every million parts of water being distributed
in the Village water supply system.
[Amended by Ord. No. 2000-07-01]
A. All private wells to be filled. Except as hereinafter provided, no
premises serviced by the public water system of the Village of Belleville
shall have a private well. Any private well on such premises shall
be abandoned. All abandoned wells shall be filled according to the
procedures outlined in Ch. NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code. The pump and piping
must be removed and the well checked for obstructions prior to plugging.
Any obstruction or liner must be removed. The Public Works Director
must be notified one day in advance so that he or she may observe
the filling. A well abandonment report shall be prepared immediately
upon completion of the filling of the well and submitted by the well
owner to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources on forms provided
by that agency.
B. Exceptions. Excepted from the requirements of Subsection
A herein are the following:
(1) All wells for which a well operation permit has been granted by the Public Works Director, provided that such wells remain operational and maintained. Well operation permits shall be issued as provided in Subsection
C herein.
(2) All wells in use on or before January 1, 1984. With respect to such wells, the requirements of Subsection
A herein shall not apply until ownership of the premises served by such private well is first transferred by sale or gift on or after January 1, 1984. The requirements of Subsection
A herein shall apply six months following date of any such transfer of ownership.
(3) Wells in use at the time that public water services are first extended to the premises served by such private well. With respect to such wells, the requirements of Subsection
A herein shall not apply until ownership of said premises is first transferred by gift or sale following extension of public water services to the premises. The requirements of Subsection
A herein shall apply six months following date of any such transfer of ownership.
(4) All abandoned wells subject to the requirements of Subsection
A herein at the effective date of this chapter shall be filled on or before July 1, 1984. All other wells which shall become subject to the requirements of this chapter following the effective date of this section shall be filled within six months of the date when such well shall first become subject to the requirements of Subsection
A herein.
C. Well operation permits. A permit may be granted to a well owner to
operate a well for a period not to exceed five years if the following
requirements are met. Application shall be made on forms provided
by the Public Works Director. Well operation permits may be renewed
upon reapplication with the Public Works Director, provided that the
requirements herein shall continue to be met.
(1) The well and pump installation shall meet or may be upgraded to meet
the standard for existing installations described in Ch. NR 812, Wis.
Adm. Code, and have a letter from a licensed pump installer or a licensed
well driller on file with the Village Clerk/Treasurer stating that
the well meets Ch. NR 812, Wis. Adm. Code.
(2) The well and pump shall have a history of producing bacteriologically
safe water evidenced by two samples taken a minimum of two weeks apart
the first year of permit. In years two, three, four and five of the
permit, one safe sample per year must be provided to the Village.
All costs of sampling are paid by owner. In areas where the Department
of Natural Resources has determined that groundwater aquifers are
contaminated with substances other than bacteria, additional chemical
tests may be required to evidence safety of the water.
(3) There shall be no cross-connection between the well's pump installation
or distribution piping and the municipal water system.
(4) The well water shall not discharge into a drain leading directly
to a public sewer utility unless properly metered and authorized by
the sewer utility.
(5) The well shall have a functional pumping system, and the proposed
use of the well water can be justified as reasonable in addition to
water provided by the municipal water system.
D. Penalties. Any well owner violating any provision of this section shall, upon conviction, be subjected to a penalty as provided in §
1-4 of this Code. Each day of violation is a separate offense. If any person fails to comply with this section for more than 30 days after receiving written notice of the violation, the municipality may impose a penalty and cause the well abandonment to be performed and the expense assessed as a special charge against the property.
When a customer connects to a Village-constructed utility service
at a future time, such customer shall be charged a connection charge
equal to the original prorated cost of construction plus an amount
equal to the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase for each year
after the original date of utility construction.
[Amended by Ord. No. 2004-06-03]
Utility customers residing outside the corporate limits of the
Village of Belleville shall be billed at the regular rates for service
plus a twenty-five-percent surcharge for sewer service.
