[Ord. 225 (75-1), 10/20/1975, § 1]
It shall hereafter be unlawful for any person, partnership, corporation or other entity to drill, dig or make a water-producing well for the purpose of providing water for human consumption or use within the Borough of Glen Rock, York County, Pennsylvania, except as hereinafter provided.
[Ord. 225 (75-1), 10/20/1975, § 2]
It shall hereafter be presumed that an ample supply of water for human consumption and use is reasonably available to all places within Glen Rock Borough, supplied by the Glen Rock Water Authority; provided, however, upon petition to Borough Council, after hearing and cause shown that such water supply is not ample or reasonably available, the Council may grant special permission to the petitioner to drill, dig or make a water-producing well in Glen Rock Borough for such water supply upon such conditions and limitations as may be appropriate; and, provided further, the drilling, digging, making and maintaining of such well and the human consumption and use of water therefrom shall comply with all other applicable laws, rules and regulations of governmental bodies having jurisdiction.
[Ord. 225 (75-1), 10/20/1975, § 3]
1. 
Wells may be drilled, dug or made to obtain a water supply for watering vegetation, car washing, outdoor pools and similar purposes not involving human consumption and use without the petition, hearing and procedure pursuant to § 26-102; provided, however, that:
A. 
Written notice of the intent to do so and the purpose of such well shall be given to Glen Rock Borough and the Glen Rock Water Authority not less than 30 days before work commences.
B. 
The water produced by such well shall not in any manner be introduced into or connected with a water supply or system which is for the purpose of human consumption or use.
C. 
If water is supplied by the Glen Rock Water Authority to the premises upon which such well is located, before the water from such well is used in any manner, the owner shall install at his expense a back-flow preventer on the line supplying water of the Glen Rock Water Authority to said premises at such location and in such manner as said Authority shall require.
[Ord. 225 (75-1), 10/20/1975, § 4; as amended by Ord. 490 (2017-05), 10/18/2017]

The violation or threatened violation of any provision of this Part is declared to be a nuisance, and whether or not the penalties allowed by § 26-104 above are imposed, may be restrained by an action in equity in the courts of York County, Pennsylvania.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 1]
The "Drought Contingency and Water Shortage Plan of Glen Rock Borough" is hereby adopted and attached hereto.[1] This Plan may be modified and updated by resolution of the Borough Council.
[1]
Editor's Note: Said plan is on file in the Borough offices.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 2]
Those uses of water not essential to the protection of public health and safety are deemed nonessential. Nonessential uses of water may be restricted by both voluntary and mandatory measures as prescribed and outlined within the drought contingency and water shortage plan. A list of nonessential water uses is included in the plan.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 3]
If, during a water shortage period, a voluntary ban on nonessential uses of water has not sufficiently reduced the rate of depletion of the water supply sources and those sources have reached a level at which the plan prescribes more severe demand reduction measures, a mandatory restriction of nonessential water uses shall be imposed. Those water service customers found not cooperating with this action shall be faced with a surcharge of up to $25 per day for each day of noncompliance or the curtailment of water service, whichever is deemed most appropriate. The Glen Rock Water Authority shall have the power and authority to assess said surcharge.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 4]
If a water shortage emergency is declared by the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania within an area which includes the service area of the Borough of Glen Rock and both voluntary and mandatory restrictions of nonessential water uses have failed to sufficiently reduce the rate of depletion of all available water supply sources, and if the Borough's plans for water rationing have been reviewed and approved by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Council, water rationing may be implemented.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 5]
Any water service customers may apply to the Borough for an exemption to the terms of this Part which may be granted by the Borough Council upon adequate evidence of an equitable hardship imposed through adherence to the provisions of the plan.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 6]
The Mayor of Glen Rock, upon notification from the Glen Rock Water Authority, shall have the authority to declare a drought/water shortage emergency and shall be empowered to impose the mandatory restrictions set forth in the drought contingency and water shortage plan.
[Ord. 326 (91-3), 10/2/1991, § 7; as amended by Ord. 490 (2017-05), 10/18/2017]
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of this Part, upon conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30 days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues or each section of this Part which shall be found to have been violated shall constitute a separate offense.
