(a) No owner, agent or lessee of real estate within the City shall drill, dig or use or allow to be drilled, dug or used any water well on such real estate without first obtaining a permit therefor as provided in this section.
(b) In the event that a City property owner is unable to obtain water service from the City, an application accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) may be made to the Director of Service and Safety. If, in the Director's opinion, a hardship exists and a water well will not interfere with the City's water supply, the Director shall issue a permit for one water well on such property with a case diameter not larger than four and one-fourth inches. Such a well must be metered as provided in Section 923.08, and when City water becomes available, such property owner shall provide for the connection thereto in accordance with the provisions of this chapter within ninety days after the date of a notice to do so, whereupon the permit provided for herein shall become void.
(Ord. 77-56. Passed 10-25-77.)
(c) In the event that a City property owner desires to drill, dig or use a water well or cap a spring for purposes other than normal residential use and the discharge from this use is not into the City sanitary sewerage system, application accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) may be made to the Service-Safety Director. If, in his opinion, this system can be satisfactorily installed and operated without detrimental effects on the City water supply, sanitary sewerage system or drainage system, the Director may issue a permit for this system that will require a final inspection to insure that the system is properly installed.
(d) No permit shall be issued other than those under the circumstances and conditions provided for in subsections (b) and (c) hereof.
(Ord. 78-27. Passed 6-13-78.)
(e) A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which a violation of any of the provisions of this section occurs or continues.
