For major subdivision, in addition to the testing
and reporting requirements of § 277-25 hereof, pump testing
shall be performed as follows:

B. Pump testing, sampling and recording shall be performed

The administrative authority shall have the
power to make or cause to be made such inspections and tests as may
be necessary to carry out the purposes of this article, and its authorized
representatives shall at all times have the right to present proper
identification and then enter upon lands upon which there is located
a well or individual sewage disposal system for the purpose of inspecting
and/or testing the same.
The source of potable water for a nonpublic
water system shall be solely from wells. The use of springs, cisterns,
or surface waters shall not be accepted as a source of potable water.
In case any permit or certification required
by this article is denied by the administrative authority, or in case
the administrative authority issues an order to close a well, a hearing
shall be held thereon before the administrative authority within 15
days after request therefor is made by the applicant in writing, and
upon such hearing, the administrative authority shall affirm, alter
or rescind its previous determination and take action accordingly
within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The administrative authority may order all work
in and about any nonpublic water system which is being erected, installed
or altered in violation of the law, regulations, or this article,
to be stopped forthwith, except such work as shall be determined by
the administrative authority to be necessary to remedy such violation.
After issuance of any such stop-work order and the service of a copy
thereof upon any person connected with or working in or about the
erection or installation of any such nonpublic water system, or any
part thereof, no further work shall be done thereon except in strict
compliance with all laws, regulations and ordinances.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation violating
any of the provisions of this article or any order promulgated under
this article shall, upon conviction thereof, pay a penalty of not
less than $200 for each offense and an additional penalty of $25 for
each day of continuance of the violation after notice of the violation
shall have been given to such person or persons, firm or corporation
by the administrative authority, to be collected and enforced by summary
proceedings for the collection of penalties pursuant to the New Jersey
Penalty Enforcement Law. Such notice shall be given by: serving a copy thereof
on the property owner as shown on the current tax map or his agent
in charge of the property; or mailing a copy thereof by certified
mail, return receipt requested, to the property owner at his address
as shown on said tax map.
