No new noncommunity, semi-private or private water system well shall be constructed or installed, nor shall any existing water well system be modified or expanded, in the city until the person seeking to construct or install such water system well has obtained a permit from the state or its designee, the County Health Department, pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Water Well Construction Code, ILCS Ch. 415, Act 30, §§ 1 et seq., and a permit from the city. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to prohibit the issuance of a permit for the construction or installation of a water well system for the purpose of irrigation. No permit shall be required for water well systems constructed or installed prior to the effective date of this subchapter.
