(A) Well water in the city has also been used over a period of time for commercial and industrial purposes.
(B) The city desires to further limit the threat to human health from ground water contamination to the city waterworks system because of the installation of wells to supply ground water for commercial, industrial, agricultural, residential and other purposes.
(C) The attempt to install or drill wells to supply ground water for commercial, industrial, agricultural, residential and other purposes within the corporate limits of the city may have a deleterious effect on the city water supply due to the potential for backsiphonage into the city waterworks system and contamination of the city water supply.
(D) The potential risk of backsiphonage and contamination of the city waterworks system and the ramifications of this to the public health, safety and welfare far outweighs the benefit of allowing the use of wells to supply ground water for commercial, industrial, agricultural, residential and other purposes.
