[Derived from Sec. 29-5 of the 1999 Code of the Township of Clinton]
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 Chapter 188, P.L. 1950 (N.J.S.A.
26:3-69.1 to 26:3-69.6). A copy of the code is annexed hereto and made a part
hereof without inclusion of the text thereof herein.
The code established and adopted by this article is described and commonly
known as the "Individual and Semipublic Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966)."
Three copies of the Individual and Semipublic Water Supply Code of New
Jersey (1966) have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary, Clerk
or other similar office of the Board of Health upon the introduction of this
article and will remain on file in said office for use and examination by
the public.
No person shall locate, construct or alter any water supply until a
permit for the location, construction or alteration of the water supply shall
have been issued by the Board of Health or its designated agent. It shall
be the responsibility of the builder to accurately locate the well on the
property prior to the issuance of the permit.
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 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 alteration to
an existing water supply.
In case any permit or certification required by this article is denied
by the Board of Health, a hearing shall be held thereon before the Board within
15 days after request 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 the 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.
The following fees and charges are herewith established:
A. For the filing of an application for an approved potable
water supply: $100.
B. For the filing of an application and plans for a permit
to alter an existing water supply: $100.
