The village, upon the recommendation of the Village Engineer, may at any time require any person, firm, municipality, or corporation, or other entity, who shall be drilling a well within the zone of protection, and who shall be required to have obtained a permit from the village, to cease drilling, or if the well is drilled and is in production, to cease the use of said well, if in the opinion of the Village Engineer the drilling, or further use of said well, shall in any way injure, or diminish, or pollute, the water supply of the village. The Village Engineer shall have the authority to enter upon the property of the individual, firm, municipality, or corporation, or other entity, who shall be drilling said well, in order to observe the drilling, and perform such tests as may be necessary in order for said engineer to evaluate the impact of any drilling or pumping on the village water supply, or to determine whether or not there shall have been a deviation regarding the drilling, or use of the well, from the data contained in the information application filed with the village for issuance of the permit. Should said information, in the opinion of the Village Engineer, be of such substantial deviation that it could adversely impact upon the village’s consideration of the preservation of its water supply, the Village President and Board of Trustees may, in addition for such cause, require the individual to cease drilling, or to cease use of an existing well.
