1121.07 WATER SUPPLY.
(a) Public Water Supply. Where public water supply is within a reasonable distance, as determined by the Planning Commission, the developer, unless he complies with Section 1113.02(b), shall construct a system of water mains and hydrants and connect with such public water supply and provide a connection for each lot or potential building site. Where public water supply is not available, the developer shall provide for individual wells for each lot in the subdivision.
(1) Test wells. At least one test well shall be made in the area being platted for each 100 lots or for each twenty-five acres of area, whichever is the smaller. In cases where copies of the logs of existing wells located within the area being platted are available, this may be submitted in lieu of making test wells. Test wells shall be at least twenty-five feet in depth and shall produce safe potable drinking water at a rate of not less than five gallons per minute.
(2) Well log. A copy of the well log which will include the name and address of the well driller, shall be submitted with the preliminary documents to the City Engineer.
(b) Location and Construction of Individual Private Wells. Generally individual private wells shall be located at least twenty-five feet from property lines; thirty feet from all septic tanks; approximately 100 feet from all tile disposal facilities; ten feet from all cast iron sewer lines; thirty feet from any vitrified sewer tile lines; and shall not be located within any flood plain, and in conformity with the Summit County General Health District regulations relating thereto.
(1) As a precaution against seepage, a watertight seal shall be provided around the pump mounting.
(2) All abandoned wells shall be sealed in a manner that will render them water-tight.
(3) In all cases where it has been determined that individual water supplies from private wells are not feasible, a public water distribution system will be required.
(c) Public Water Distribution Systems. Public wells and other public water distribution systems shall meet the requirements of the State Department of Health as cited in Ohio R.C. 6111.44 to 6111.46.
