Water — See Ch. 237.
A code regulating the location, construction, alteration, use and supervision
of individual and semipublic water supplies, requiring certain permits, providing
for the inspection of such supplies, the fixing of fees and prescribing penalties
for violations is hereby adopted pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-69.1 et seq. A
copy of the code is annexed hereto and made a part hereof without inclusion
of the text thereof herein.
The code established and adopted by this chapter is described and commonly
known as the "Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966)."
Three copies of the Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966) have been
placed on file in the office of the Secretary of this Board of Health upon
the introduction of this chapter and shall remain on file in the office for
the use and examination by the public.
A.
Permit required; application.
(1)
No person shall locate, construct or alter any water
supply until a permit for the location, construction or alteration of the
water supply shall have been issued by the Board of Health. The Board of Health
may issue a permit if an application for the same is accompanied by a certificate
made by an engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey
stating that the design of the water supply as proposed is in compliance with
the code.
(2)
New water supplies shall not be placed in operation,
nor shall new dwellings or buildings or additions thereto be sold or occupied,
which must rely on such a supply for water, until the Board of Health shall
have issued a certificate indicating that the water supply has been located
and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit issued and the
requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate shall not
be required for alteration to an existing water supply. The Board of Health
may issue such a certificate if an engineer licensed to practice professional
engineering in New Jersey submits a statement in writing signed by him to
the Board of Health that the water supply has been located and constructed
in accordance with the terms of the permit and the requirements of the aforesaid
code.
B.
Appeal. In case any permit or certification required
by this chapter is denied by the Board of Health, a hearing shall be held
thereon before the Board within 15 days after request therefor is made by
the applicant, and upon such hearing the Board of Health shall affirm, alter
or rescind its previous determination and take action accordingly within 15
days after the date of such hearing.
C.
Work stoppage in the event of violation. The Board of
Health may order all further work in and about any water supply, which is
being erected or installed in violation of the code, to be stopped forthwith,
except such work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation, and thereafter,
the work continued without any violation of any of the provisions of the code,
and after issuance of any such order and the service of a copy thereof upon
any person connected with or working in and about the erection or installation
of any such water supply, or any part thereof, no further work shall be done
thereon except as aforesaid.
D.
Fees. Fees shall be as set forth in § 111-3I.
