[Amended 3-24-2003 by Ord. No. BH:1-2003]
A.
No individual water supply system shall be constructed upon a property
for which service is available from a public water supply system approved
by the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection and Energy,
holding a franchise and subject to regulations by the New Jersey Board
of Regulatory Commissioners. Public water system service shall be
considered to be available to a property if the property is located
within the franchise area of a public water supply and any portion
of the property is within 100 feet of an existing water service line
of the system, provided, however, that the public water system service
shall not be considered to be available unless connection can be legally
made and can be accomplished without blasting bedrock, without the
need for the acquisition of an easement or right-of-way across adjoining
property, and without crossing a watercourse, major highway or other
significant obstacle.
B.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A above, a person may maintain a well that is not part of an individual water supply system, i.e., for irrigation, recreation and nonpotable purposes under the following conditions: In the case of a property connected to a public water supply on or before the effective date of this section, each well shall be reconfigured such that the casing thereof is above grade by a minimum of 12 inches and capped according to code no later than December 31, 2003. In the case of any property connection to a public water supply system after the effective date of this section, the existing well shall be configured such that the casing thereof is above grade by a minimum of 12 inches and capped according to code within six months of the date of connection of the property to the public water supply system. All such wells must also comply with the minimum separation distances from underground sanitary disposal systems, dry wells, adjoining sanitary disposal systems and adjoining wells. In the case of the construction of a newly permitted well, to be used for nonpotable water supply, any such well must comply with all local regulations governing water quality and the separation requirements between the subject well and sanitary disposal systems, dry wells, adjoining sanitary disposal systems and adjoining wells. By this section, the Board of Health intends to affirm that wells may be used for purposes other than potable water supply and also to establish requirements for such wells designed to reduce the likelihood of inadvertent contamination of aquifers and other water bearing strata.
[Amended 10-27-2003 by Ord. No. BH:2-2003]
C.
A person failing to comply with the terms and conditions of this section shall be subject to the penalties set forth in § 397-17, unless such person shall, within 30 days of receipt of written notice from the Board of Health of the Township of Mendham, cause such well to be properly abandoned in compliance with all applicable state standards.
D.
Any person, individual or entity who shall be required to abandon an individual water supply system within the Township of Mendham or who shall desire to maintain an individual water supply system in the Township of Mendham which system shall not be used for potable water supply shall make application to the Board of Health of the Township of Mendham on a form furnished by the Board of Health for such purpose and shall, at the time of said application pay the sum as provided in Chapter 361, Fees, to the Township of Mendham to cover the costs of application and inspection. The failure to make application and pay the required fee within the required time frame set forth in Subsections B and C above shall constitute a violation of this section pursuant to Subsection C.

Compliance with the foregoing water quality standards shall be determined
on the basis of a report from a state certified laboratory. Arrangements
for water sampling and testing shall be made by the owner of the property
upon which the individual water supply system is located. Such person
shall pay the costs of water sampling and testing directly to the
certified laboratory. The Board of Health shall be satisfied that
each water sample reported upon was taken by the certified laboratory
and remained in the custody of the certified laboratory until the
completion of the water quality tests subject of the report.
(4)
Whenever a certificate of compliance shall be issued for a new individual
water supply system, the Board of Health shall forward to the occupant
of the property upon which the system is located a statement advising
such occupant that the character of water produced by a new well may
change after the well has been in use for several months, and that,
for this reason, it would be desirable to have the water tested after
six months of well use as to pH, corrosivity, hardness, manganese
and iron so that consideration may be given to the correction of any
deviations from standards applicable to the foregoing.
(5)
Whenever the report of a test of water quality indicates that corrosivity
is more or less than 1.0 of optimum pH as determined by the Langlier
Index, the certificate of compliance shall bear the following notation:
|
"The laboratory analysis revealed that the water serving the
subject dwelling falls outside of state-recommended limits for corrosivity.
| |
|
"Corrosive water can lead to the deterioration of metal pipes
and water-related appliances. The water may also liberate toxic metals,
such as lead and copper, from the water system.
| |
|
"To protect the water supply system from damage and to prevent
the ingestion of metals, we recommend that a neutralizer be installed
and properly maintained. Meanwhile, we suggest that you run the water
each morning, before use, long enough to flush out the water that
was standing in the pipes overnight."
