Before any well may be installed or used as a source of potable
water, a permit must be obtained from the Board of Health. Such permit
will be issued only if the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction
of the Board that the following conditions will be met:
A. The well shall be located so as to minimize the danger of contamination.
A well shall not be installed less than 150 feet from a sewage disposal
system, manure storage area or waste disposal site, less than 10 feet
from a street layout or less than five feet from the property line.
A special variance may be granted by proper authority in cases where
relocation is necessary because of pollution or failure.
B. The well shall be designed and installed in a manner which effectively
prohibits the leakage of surface water into the well.
C. The location of any well which is completely below the ground surface
or otherwise obscured from view shall be clearly marked either by
the placement of a permanent marker above the well or by the installation
of a marker on the foundation wall of the building served by the well.
