(A) Where a public water supply is reasonably accessible or required because of groundwater pollution problems, the subdivision shall be provided with a complete water distribution system including a connection for each lot. Public water distribution and public well systems shall meet the requirements of the OEPA, as cited in the Ohio Revised Code.
(B) Where public water supply is not available, as determined by the city’s and the county’s Health Department, or not required, the sub-divider shall supply acceptable evidence of the availability of water. The sub-divider may be required to drill one or more test wells in the area to be platted. Location and construction of a private water supply shall meet the requirements of the Ohio Revised Code and the Ohio Administrative Code. Wells located in floodplain areas shall be constructed so as to be sealed from the entry of floodwaters. In all cases where it has been determined that individual water supplies from private wells are not feasible, a public water distribution system shall be required.
(C) Private water wells and other water distribution systems may be accepted for maintenance and operation by the city if the ownership is vested to the city and if the water distribution system has been constructed according to the specifications and approved by the city.
