The public health permit shall be in addition to any other license or permit required by this county or by any other public agency. The permit is nontransferable and it expires one year after the date of issuance, except that the Health Officer, upon a showing of good cause, may extend the permit for up to one additional year. Any person who holds a valid approval for a subdivision of less than five parcels and verification by the county’s Health Department that a local small water system has sufficient water quantity and quality, prior to the adoption of this article, shall be deemed to be permitted to construct and operate a local small water system.
