13.16.130   Denial of permit.
   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.
