If, after reviewing the application, the town’s Public Works Authority determines that the applicant’s premises are being served by the public water system, the authority shall deny the application. The authority may deny the application, despite the fact that the applicant’s premises are not served by the public water system, if, in the opinion of the authority, the proposed well would create a hazard to public health and safety or the application is incomplete or is not accompanied by the filing fee. If the authority finds that the applicant’s premises are not served by the public water system and the proposed well will not be a hazard to public health and safety, it shall issue a permit for the well.
