The owner of each water well within the City shall register
with the Superintendent of Water all operational and nonoperational
water wells. The information shall be provided on a form approved
and supplied by the Superintendent of Water and shall include the
name and address of the owner or person responsible for the well,
the exact location of the well, the size and depth of the well, the
amount of water pumped per day, the amount of pressure on the discharge
of the pump, and whether there is any protective device installed
on the waterline to prevent a backflow into the City's waterline.
Whenever, upon examination, it shall appear that water from
a well is contaminated with substances injurious to health or which
may become injurious to health, the use of such water shall be discontinued
and the well shall be filled in, unless otherwise determined by the
Superintendent of Water that such use of the water shall not endanger
the public health.
The provisions of this article shall apply to all current and
future out-of-City users that are or will be connected to the City's
water supply and distribution system.
