A. 
Every proposed lot must be suitable for the installation of an adequate water supply consisting of a drilled well, artesian well or community water supply. Where evidence before the Commission indicates that water supply may not be adequate, whether because of poor quality, insufficient quantity or other reason, the subdivider may be required to submit additional information demonstrating the adequacy, quality and quantity of the proposed water supply. Such information shall be submitted to the Town Director of Health or other appropriate Town official for review and comment. The Commission may also require the installation of test wells in one or more locations prior to issuing approval of any final subdivision plan.

If the use of a community water supply system is proposed, the subdivider shall submit a plan in compliance with evidence of an approval by the Town Director of Health.

No lot requiring an individual septic system for sewage disposal shall be considered for approval by the Commission until the lot has been approved by the Eastern Highlands Health District, Town Director of Health, or other appropriate Town official as suitable for the system. Percolation tests, soil reports, and the relevant Town official's report must be submitted with the subdivision application. Where evidence indicates special cause for concern, the Commission may require additional information in applications, including but not limited to a permeability analysis and/or renovation analysis of bacteria, phosphates, or other pollutants.
