The following sections and such resolutions as may be adopted by the City are intended to ensure an adequate supply of potable water for domestic use in areas where no existing water systems are available to supply such water.
(Ord. 02-01 § 1)
Whenever a subdivider proposes to form a community water system to supply domestic water from one source to the proposed subdivision lots, the subdivider may be required to set up a mutual water company composed of property owners or some other single business proprietorship or business entity to construct, operate, control, maintain, repair, and, if necessary, enlarge such community water supply system. All of the provisions of state law relating to such water supply systems shall be strictly met.
(Ord. 02-01 § 1)
State law requires the water purveyor to obtain a permit before furnishing water to a user. Permits are issued on small water systems (less than 200 connections) by the City’s designated Health Officer. In order to obtain adequate data, all or part of the following information when related to the proposed water supply system may be required before an application for a water supply permit will be accepted for processing:
A. 
A plot plan of all wells indicating property boundary lines and the location of all possible sources of contamination, including sewer or waste lines, septic tanks, dry wells, cesspools, or seepage pits or any surface or subsurface sewage or sewage effluent discharge that is located within 200 feet of the well.
B. 
Means of protecting well sites by restrictions or by the purchasing of surrounding property to prevent the location of future possible sources of contamination in the vicinity of the well.
C. 
The logs of all wells and well construction plans, including depth of annular seal, casings, perforations, bacteriological sampling cock, and facilities for disinfection of the well if necessary.
D.

E.

F. 
Information on the bacteriological quality of the water supply from each source.
G.

K.

L. 
Method of treatment and complete plans on treatment facilities.
M.

(Ord. 02-01 § 1; Ord. 12-02 § 23)
In all areas where any water system having up to 199 connections is to be installed that is not within the boundaries of or proposed to be annexed to a special district having the power to check and approve engineering designs and inspect and make requirements for water systems, the Public Health Department will check all engineering designs and specify requirements, inspect and approve all construction of water systems.
(Ord. 02-01 § 1)
A. 
Wherever an applicant proposes to create lots without a community water system or without supplying water from an approved source to each lot, before a lot is sold the applicant or agents shall notify the purchaser in writing that there is no approved water supply furnished to such lot, that the development of a private water supply on the lot in question will be at the purchaser’s own risk and expense, and furthermore, that the Health Department accepts no responsibility for the approval or disapproval of water supplies which are to be developed privately on an individual lot basis. The applicant shall obtain a written receipt from each original purchaser of a lot for the notice. He or she shall keep such receipts and a copy of the notice on file in his or her principal place of business or other convenient location and shall make the file available for inspection by any City official or employee during ordinary business hours.
B. 
The requirements of this section may be met by the subdivision report required to be furnished to each lot purchaser under the provisions of the State Business and Professions Code, Sections 11000 et seq., provided such report furnishes the information required in this section. In such event, all of the provisions of Section 11000 of the State Business and Professions Code shall govern the procedure for this section.
