Wells that are abandoned shall be sealed in a manner prescribed by the health officer and the Illinois water well construction code. It shall be the responsibility of the water well contractor to ensure that a permit has been issued and the health officer notified prior to sealing of an abandoned well. The health officer shall inspect abandoned wells at the time of sealing to determine compliance with this chapter. In questionable cases, the health officer shall make the determination as to whether a water well is considered abandoned, based upon the definition of an "abandoned well" and the facts in each particular case.
