(A) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, no person shall maintain any private water supply system in this city without approval of the city.
(B) Where a public water main is not reasonably accessible in any area under the jurisdiction of the city, each building in such area shall be served by a private potable water supply system which conforms to the regulations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. Reasonable accessibility to a public water main shall be deemed to exist if such a water main is located in any street, alley or right-of-way adjacent to or within 100 feet of any lot line of the parcel on which such building is located, and permission is granted by the public body in control of the water main.
(C) Whenever a public water main becomes reasonably accessible to property served by a private water supply system, and permission is granted by the public body in control of the water main, connection shall be made to the public water main in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and the use and maintenance of the private water supply system shall be discontinued.
(D) The owner or manager of any and all buildings or uses other than a single-family dwelling, for which water is provided by a water service connection to the city's public water system, shall install or cause to be installed a reduced pressure zone ("RPZ") backflow preventer to the water system for the building or use. The RPZ shall be tested annually by the owner or manager of the building or use, who shall also file a written report of the condition of the RPZ with the city's water department. If testing indicates that the RPZ is malfunctioning, it shall be repaired or replaced by the owner or manager of the building or use within 60 days after the testing is completed.
(E) Whenever the owner of an improved property that is serviced by a private water well elects or is required to connect to the city's water system or any other public water system within the area of the city's jurisdiction, the property owner shall agree to seal the well on the property in accordance with the regulations of the Illinois Plumbing Code, as amended, and the regulations of the DuPage County Health Department, as they exist when the well is to be sealed. The well shall be sealed within 30 days from the date of connection to the city's water system or other public water system within the area of the city's jurisdiction.
