(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to install a new private well, regardless of the amount of water intended to be withdrawn from such well, on any lot within city limits that has reasonable access to city water service. New private wells are allowed on lots without reasonable access to city water upon proof that approval for such well has been issued by the Minnesota Department of Health. For such purposes, a lot within 150 feet of the city water system shall be deemed to have reasonable access to water service.
(B) No water pipe of the city water supply system shall be connected with any pump, well, or tank that is connected with any other source of water supply. When any such connection is found, the Maintenance Supervisor shall notify the owner to sever the connection and if this is not done immediately, the city shall turn off the water supply forthwith.
(C) Before any new connection to the city system is permitted, the Department shall ascertain that no cross connection will exist when the new connection is made.
