(A) Public water supply.
(1) Water mains not less than six inches in diameter shall be constructed throughout the entire subdivision. Larger diameter pipes may be required by the village to provide for future transmission needs, in which case, the village shall pay any additional costs.
(2) Every water supply system shall be designed in such a manner as to provide an area fire flow meeting the requirements established by the village’s fire protection district. Water mains larger than six inches in diameter shall be installed at the subdivider’s expense if needed to provide the area fire flow required by the insurance services office guild for determination of required fire flow. A minimum of 1,000 gallons per minute with a residual pressure of 20 pounds per square inch shall be required. Fire hydrants with shut-off valves at each hydrant shall be installed throughout the entire system at maximum intervals of 400 feet or less. All fire hydrants shall be three nozzle hydrants with threads as specified by the village’s fire protection district and shall have flow characteristics similar to those of a five and one-fourth inch hydrant valve.
(B) Private water supply. When a public water supply is not feasible and the subdivision is outside the corporate limits of the village, a private well may be used. Wells shall be constructed according to the Illinois Water Well Pump Installation Code.
