Except as herein otherwise provided, water from privately owned wells within the town shall be used only for domestic purposes on the premises where the well is located, and there shall be no interconnection of any kind between any such well and the water supply of the town or any connection thereto or extension thereof. In the case of wells in use prior to the effective date of this chapter, use of the water therefrom may be continued to the same extent and for the same purposes, but such uses shall not be extended or increased. No domestic water well shall be utilized to fill a natural or man made open earthen basin nor to maintain water in the same, nor shall the water well be used for recreational purposes or any purposes which may constitute waste.
