(1966) and the several supplements and amendments thereto are hereby
adopted and incorporated into this chapter.
[BH:OR-9-80 § 122-2; BH:OR-1-87]
a. No person shall drill a well without first obtaining a permit from
the Board of Health, and no person shall drill or dig a present well
deeper without first obtaining a permit from the Board of Health.
b. Every applicant for a proposed or existing well permit shall present
a drawing to an appropriate scale thereon the exact location where
the well is to be placed, and this location shall be at least 100
feet from any proposed or existing sewage disposal system. All proposed
and existing wells must be shown on this drawing.
c. There shall be charged for the filing of an application and plans
for a permit to locate and construct a water supply or to alter an
existing water supply and for each reinspection of a water supply
or part thereof caused by the failure of the permittee to locate and
construct or alter the same in accordance with the terms of the permit
issued or the terms of the aforesaid Code such fees as shall be established
by the Township Committee.
d. A well shall be provided with an outside water-tight casing to a
depth of 50 feet or more, in compliance with the State and County

It is to certify that the well has been constructed in accordance
with this chapter.
f. No hose or pumps that are used for any purpose whatsoever in the
sewer system shall be used in any manner whatsoever in connection
with or about the potable water supply system.
g. Whenever the owners or agents of buildings supply potable water,
they shall supply a continuous flow of water without interruption
unless otherwise specified, except for such reasonable time as shall
be needed for making necessary repairs or if such interruption is
caused by an act of God.
h. The top of the well casing shall be capped with a rubber sanitary
seal and properly vented. Water pipe connections through the casing
shall be sealed with a Jaswell seal or equal.
