In case of natural or unintentional destruction of a well existing before the effective date of the ordinance codified in this article, the well owner must apply to construct a replacement well or repair the damaged well. The permit shall not be issued unless the replaced or repaired well complies with the provisions of this article. However, if quantity requirements were not met prior to destruction of the well and cannot be practicably met, the Health Officer shall permit a system which does not meet the requirements set forth in § 15.05.038, provided water storage facilities are added to ensure adequate supply for domestic purposes. The Health Officer may require storage capability in excess of the requirement specified in § 15.05.038, if the Health Officer determines the excess is reasonably necessary to ensure an adequate domestic water supply. Any permit issued under this section shall carry a statement that the permit has been issued without quality analyses.
