(A) General requirements.
(1) Where a public water main is accessible (within 200 feet of any boundary of the proposed subdivision) the subdivider shall install adequate water facilities (including fire hydrants) subject to the specifications of the state or town authorities. All water mains shall be at least six inches in diameter.
(2) Water main extensions shall be approved by the Commission or its officially designated representative.
(3) To facilitate the above, the location of all fire hydrants, water supply improvements, and the boundary lanes of proposed subdivision, indicating all improvements proposed to be served, shall be shown on the preliminary plat, and the cost of installing same shall be included in the performance bond to be furnished by the subdivider.
(4) The design of all water facilities shall conform to or exceed the standards described in the latest edition of Recommended Standards for Water Works as published by Health Education Service, Inc., Albany, New York.
(B) Individual wells and central water systems.
(1) Where a public water system is not available, (within 200 feet of any boundary of the proposed subdivision) at the discretion of the Commission, individual wells may be used or a central water system provided in such a manner that an adequate supply of potable water will be available to every lot in the subdivision. Water sample test results shall be submitted to the Indiana State Board of Health for its approval, and individual wells and central water systems shall be approved by the appropriate state health authorities. Orders of approval shall be submitted to the Commission.
(2) If the Commission requires that a connection to a public water main be eventually provided as a condition for approval of an individual well or central water system, the applicant shall make arrangements for future water service at the time the plat receives secondary approval. Performance or cash bond may be required to insure compliance.
(3) Fire hydrants should be provided at each street intersection and at intermediate points between intersections as recommended by the State Insurance Services Office and the Nineveh Township Fire Department. Generally, hydrant spacing may range from 350 to 600 feet depending on the area being served.
