A. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this section and in Section 13.16.110, no permit shall be denied unless it appears that the project for which the permit is requested poses a substantial threat of pollution to the underground waters.
B. No permit shall issue for the construction, deepening or reconstruction of an individual domestic water well or a public domestic water well in a location in which sources of pollution or contamination are known to exist which may cause a well complying with the provisions of the well standards of this chapter to become polluted or contaminated; provided, however, that if no other source of potable water is available and if the health officer determines that such water may be rendered potable by appropriate treatment, a permit conditioned on the provision of facilities for such treatment may be issued.
C. No permit shall issue for the construction of a point driven public or private domestic water well; however, that where no water is available at a depth of greater than fifty (50) feet a permit may be issued for construction of a point driven well less than fifty (50) feet deep. Any permit for the construction of a point driven public domestic water well shall be conditioned upon provision of purification facilities adequate to insure that water produced will be and will remain potable.
