   (B)   In order to assure that water from private wells are not so connected to any water supply system, a periodic bacteriological sampling may be taken by the Village of Itasca Public Utility Supervisor, or his or her designee, or other regulatory body, of the domestic water entering any structure served by such wells, pursuant to the inspection procedures outlined below in § 52.62 of this subchapter; and,
   (C)   In order to effectively enforce the regulations for water conservation established by §§ 52.40 through 52.44, as amended, outside use of water from such private wells allowed under this subchapter shall be subject to the regulations established by §§ 52.40 through 52.44, provided however that any water well owned and operated by a governmental entity or agency for the irrigation of public property shall be exempt from such regulations; and,

   (F)   No private water supply system shall be permitted which within reasonable engineering standards could adversely affect the aquifer from which the well receives water, or otherwise interfere with any public or other private water supply system; and,
   (G)   No permit for a private water supply system shall be granted if such system is improperly maintained or not used for its intended purpose under this subchapter, or is in violation of any rule or regulation, or any present or future agreements or amendments to agreements between the village and the DuPage Water Commission; and,
   (H)   No person or entity shall establish or permit to be established, or maintain or permit to be maintained, any connection whereby a private auxiliary or emergency water supply other than the regular public water supply of the village may enter the village's public water supply system of the village.
