A.
All the owners or occupants of parcels
of land, buildings or premises situated within the City who discharge
domestic sewage, commercial and industrial wastes into the sanitary

part from sources independent of the City, shall register with the
City, the location of the lot, parcel of land, building or premises
and all wells or other private sources of water supply which furnish
the water consumed thereon, and furnish such further information as
may reasonably be requested, including a copy of the Missouri DNR,
Division of Geology and Land Survey Certification report, indicating
the location, static water level, total depth, initial pumpage, hole

B.
Within thirty (30) days after notice to

owners or occupants of any lots, parcels of land, building or premises
mentioned in this Section, at their own costs, shall have their water

[R.O. 2007 § 705.130; CC 1979 § 27-10; Ord. No. 573 § 19, 3-13-1980]
A.
A "private water supply system", as used
in this Section, is defined as a system serving more than one (1)
parcel of property, apartment complex, commercial or industrial complex
or single-family residence, which is not owned by any taxing authority.
B.
The construction of any private water supply
systems within the corporate limits of the City, is hereby prohibited,
unless the following requirements have first been met:
1.
The Board of Aldermen has given its
prior written approval for the construction of such private water
supply system. Such approval shall not be given if it is determined
by the Board of Aldermen that the City water system has the ability
to serve the area; such extension is economically feasible and can
be accomplished to meet the immediate needs of those proposed to be
served by the private water system.
2.
The operators of the private water
system have obtained an operating permit from the Public Service Commission
of the State of Missouri for such system, if required by the State
of Missouri.
3.
Such system shall be constructed
and operated according to the rules, regulations and requirements
of the Department of Natural Resources or any other State agency which
has the authority to set such regulations.
4.
Such system shall not be placed into
operation until the City has inspected and approved the completed
system.
C.
A direct connection shall be made to the
public water line not later than sixty (60) days after such public
water line is made available to the property. A public water system
line shall be considered available to the property if it is within
one hundred (100) feet of any part of the property to be connected
to the water line.
D.
Once the water user's line has been connected to the public water line, the private water supply system shall be abandoned. Such abandonment shall be accomplished not more than sixty (60) days after the property is connected to the public water supply; but nothing shall change the requirements of Section 705.120(C), nor shall any public water be provided until the City has inspected such property to ensure that there will be no cross-connections of the water from such private water source with that of the public water system.
