A code regulating the location, construction, alteration, use and supervision
of individual and semipublic water supplies; requiring certain permits; providing
for the inspection of such supplies, the fixing of fees; and prescribing penalties
for violations, is hereby adopted pursuant to c. 188, P.L. 1950 (N.J.S.A.

of New Jersey (1966) have been placed on file in the office of the Board of
Health and will remain on file in said office for use and examination by the
public.
A.
No person shall locate, construct or alter any water
supply until a license for the location, construction or alteration of said
water supply shall have been issued by the Board of Health.

have issued a certificate indicating that the said water supply has been located
and constructed in compliance with the terms of the license issued and the
requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate shall not
be required for alteration to an existing water supply.
B.
The Board of Health may issue such a certificate if an
engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey submits
a statement in writing, signed by him, to the Board of Health, to the effect
that the said water supply has been located and constructed in accordance
with the terms of the license and the requirements of the aforesaid code.
In case any license or certification required by this chapter is denied
by the Board of Health, a hearing shall be held thereon before the Board within
15 days after request therefor is made by the applicant, and upon such hearing
the Board of Health shall affirm, alter or rescind its previous determination
and take action accordingly within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
The Board of Health may order all further work in and about any water
supply which is being erected or installed in violation of the code, to be
stopped forthwith, except such work as shall be necessary to remedy such violation,
and thereafter the work continued without any violation of any of the provisions
of the code, and after issuance of any such order and the service of a copy
thereof upon any person connected with or working in and about the erection
or installation of any such water supply or any part thereof, no further work
shall be done thereon except as aforesaid.
