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 and the fixing of fees; and prescribing penalties for violations, is hereby adopted pursuant to Chapter 188, P.L. 1950 (N.J.S.A. 26:3-69.1 to 3-69.6).

for the same is accompanied by a certificate made by an engineer licensed
to practice professional engineering in New Jersey, stating that the design
of the water supply as proposed is in compliance with the code.

New water supplies 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 supply for water, until the Board of Health shall
have issued a certificate indicating that the said water supply has been located
and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit issued and the
requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate shall not
be required for alterations 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 that the said
water supply has been located and constructed in accordance with the terms
of the permit and the requirements of the aforesaid code.
In case any permit 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.
