(A) To prevent inadvertent and illegal cross-connections, and to prevent the use and consumption of unclean and/or unsafe potable water, all residences, businesses, institutions and establishments within the town’s municipal limits must connect to and use the town’s water system as their exclusive source of potable water. Private wells, however, may be utilized for outside water use only (e.g., gardens, pools or lawns).
(B) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this section does not apply to the residents of the town who are not currently connected to the town’s water system and who currently use private wells as their exclusive source of potable water. Such residents may continue to use their wells as their sole source of potable water until such time as the private well fails and/or is deemed unsafe by the town and/or any state, federal or local agency.
