[Ord. #585, §§ 513A]
Where public water is accessible, water mains
shall be constructed in such a manner as to make adequate water service
available to each lot or building within the development. The entire
system shall be designed in accordance with the requirements and standards
of the agency having approval authority and shall be subject to their
approval; provided, however, that the system shall not include treatment
or storage facilities to service off-tract development. The system
shall be designed with adequate capacity and sustained pressure in
a looped system with no dead-end lines unless such dead-end lines
service no more than 16 dwelling units or 2,500 square feet of nonresidential
building space.
[Ord. #585, § 513B]
Where no public water is accessible, water shall
be furnished on an individual lot basis, or, if controlled by a homeowners'
association or similar organization, one well may service multiple
lots. If wells are installed on each lot and the lot also contains
its own sewerage disposal facilities, the wells shall be of the drilled
type with a minimum of 50 feet of casing. Well installation, sealing
and testing shall be in accordance with the New Jersey Standards for
Construction of Water Supply Systems in Realty Improvements (Chapter
199 of the Public Laws of 1954), as amended. The well will be required
to have a production of not less than six gallons per minute as established
by bailor tests and certified by the well driller. Before being placed
in consumer use, it shall be disinfected by the use of sodium hypochlorite
or other acceptable solution and a sample collected by a county or
state health department representative for bacteriological examination.
A copy of the results of the above referred to bailor tests and bacteriological
examination as well as a certificate from the Health Officer that
the owner has complied with the applicable local and state health
regulations shall be submitted to the Township before the issuance
of building permits in connection with each individual lot.
