(A) Any persons who use water for human consumption or in the preparation of food within the city limits where the city water distribution system is available shall be connected to the city water distribution system and shall be required to use city water as noted in § 50.02 Water Distribution; General. Likewise within the city limits where the city water distribution system is not available a water system shall be installed which meets the requirements of the city plumbing code, and is suitable for bacteriological water tests taken by the County Health Department for analysis at the State Board of Health laboratory.
(‘58 Code, § 19.17)
(B) Water samples taken from any system must conform to the bacteriological standards of the State Board of Health. When the laboratory report from one water sample taken from a water system is reported unsatisfactory by the state laboratory, a second sample will be taken. If the third laboratory report returns unsatisfactory, the owner or manager must make proper changes and either put down a new well, or use city water. Private wells and water systems cannot be connected to the city water system. (‘58 Code, §§ 19.19, 19.20)
