(a) Public Water Supply. Where a public water supply is within a reasonable distance, as determined by the Planning Commission, the subdivider shall construct a system of water mains and fire hydrants and connect with such public water supply and provide a connection for each lot or potential building site. Where a public water supply is not available, the subdivider shall provide for individual wells for each lot in the subdivision.
(b) 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 the cases where copies of the lot 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.
A copy of the well log which includes the name and address of the well driller shall be submitted with the preliminary documents to the Engineer.

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 fields and other sewage disposal facilities, ten feet from all cast-iron sewer lines, thirty feet from any vitrified sewer tile lines, and shall not be located within flood plain.
(1) As a precaution against seepage, a water tight seal shall be provided around the pump mounting.
(2) All abandoned wells shall be sealed in a manner that will render them watertight. In all cases where it has been determined that the individual water supplies from private wells are not feasible, a public water distribution system will be required.
