Three copies of said Individual and Semipublic
Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966) marked to show said amendments
have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary, Clerk or
other similar officer of this Board of Health upon the introduction
of this chapter and will remain on file in said office for the use
and examination by the public.
A.
No person shall locate, construct or alter any water
supply until a permit for the location, construction or alteration
of said water supply shall have been issued by the Board of Health.
B.
Application for a permit to locate, construct or alter
any potable water supply system shall be made to the Board of Health
by the well driller, or other person constructing or altering the
water supply, on forms furnished by said Board of Health.
C.
No permit to locate and construct a new potable water
supply shall be issued until the design and location of the sewerage
disposal system on said property has been approved by the Board of
Health. No permit to alter an existing water supply shall be issued
until the location of the existing sewerage disposal system on said
property has been approved by the Board of Health; nor shall a permit
be issued to construct a new water supply or to alter an existing
water supply where there is danger of pollution of said water supply
from any sewerage disposal system.
D.
The well driller shall, upon request, furnish the
Board of Health with proof satisfactory to the Board that the proposed
water supply will have sufficient depth and pump sufficient gallons
of water per minute to be adequate to supply the home or homes in
the areas to be served by said water supply.
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 said 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.
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.
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.
