New water systems 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 system for water, until the Board of Health shall have issued a certificate indicating that the said water system has been located and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit and the standards. Issuance of such certificate shall not be required for alteration, to an existing water system.
