(A) In general.
(1) All subdivisions and land developments shall be served with an adequate on-lot or central water supply system that will meet DEP and borough requirements. Any non-public water supply system serving three or more principal users or lots shall be required to provide adequate water pressure, in the determination of the borough.

(B) Central water supply system. Proposed extensions of central water systems shall meet all applicable procedures, reviews and requirements of the appropriate municipal authority or public utility. The design of such system shall be approved by the authority or utility prior to final plan approval, although specific detailed water service agreements are not required to be signed prior to final plan approval.
(C) On-lot water supply system.
(1) When a subdivision or land development is not required to connect to a central water system, acceptable locations for on-lot water systems shall be shown on plans and shall be constructed in accordance with regulations of DEP.
(2) Wells should be located no closer than 25 feet from any future street right-of-way.
(D) Fire hydrants. All subdivisions and land developments that will be served by public water service shall provide fire hydrants as needed with appropriate water pressure so that all dwelling units and principal buildings are within 600 feet of an active fire hydrant.
