1048.11   WELLS PROHIBITED WHEN WATER MAINS AVAILABLE.
   (a)   When a dwelling or business building is to be erected within 300 feet of an existing water main, an application shall be made for water service. If the cost of a complete well installation, with all its appurtenances, exceeds the applicant's portion of the cost of extending the water main, the distance shall be considered reasonable. The well installation cost shall be based upon the written estimate of a contractor acceptable to both the City and the applicant. This section does not apply to the establishment of protected well head recharge area.
   (b)   No owner, agent, lessee, tenant or occupant of any lot or land located within the City shall establish, construct, maintain or permit to remain in the City a well for human consumption if such lot or land is within 300 feet of a water main constructed and used for the purpose of conveying water. When such a water main is available or is hereafter made available, a connection to the same shall be made and used within 60 days after it is available by such owner, agent, lessee, tenant or occupant, who shall, for such purpose, obtain a connection permit from the Division of Water and Sewer.
