Any person who completes any well as a producer shall have the obligation to enclose the well, together, with its surface facilities, by a fence sufficiently high and properly built so as to ordinarily keep persons and animals out of the enclosure with all gates thereto to be kept locked when the permittee or his or her employees are not within the enclosure. A key to the lock shall be filed with the City Manager or his or her designee. In areas not imminent for urban development, the City Council, at their discretion, may waive the requirement of any fence or may designate the type of fence to be erected. If fencing requirements are waived by the City Council and the landowner consents thereto in writing, any application to plat the property shall constitute an agreement by the developer to fence the well at the developer’s expense.
