The code established and adopted by this chapter is described and commonly known as the "Individual and Semi-Public Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966)."
Three copies of the Individual and Semi-Public Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966) have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary, Clerk or other similar officer of the Department of Health upon the introduction of this chapter and will remain on file in such office for use and examination by the public.
A. 
No person shall locate, construct or alter any water supply until a permit for location, construction or alteration of such water supply shall have been issued by the Department of Health.
B. 
The Department of Health may issue a permit if an application for the same is accompanied by a certificate made by an engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey, stating that the design of the water supply, as proposed, is in compliance with the code.
A. 
New water supplies shall not be placed in operation nor shall new dwellings or buildings or additions thereto be sold or occupied which must rely on such a supply of water until the Department of Health shall have issued a certificate indicating that the water supply has been located and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit issued and the requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate shall not be required for alteration to an existing water supply.
B. 
The Department of Health may issue such a certificate if an engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey submits a statement, in writing, signed by him, to the Department of Health that the water supply has been located and constructed in accordance with the terms of the permit and the requirements of the aforesaid code.
In case any permit or certification required by this chapter is denied by the Department of Health, a hearing shall be held thereon before the Department within 15 days after request therefor is made by the applicant, and, upon such hearing, the Department of Health shall affirm, alter or rescind its previous determination and take action accordingly within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The Department of Health may order all further work in and about any water supply which is being erected or installed in violation of the code to be stopped forthwith, except such work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation, and, thereafter, the work continued without any violation of any of the provisions of the code, and, after issuance of any such order and the service of a copy thereof upon any person connected with or working in and about the erection or installation of any such water supply or any part thereof, no further work shall be done thereon except as aforesaid.
