(A) Owners of property may install their own private water source upon their property, for irrigation or other lawful purpose, so long as the same are done in compliance with all federal and state laws and regulations. However, no private water source, whether it be a private well, auxiliary water source, cistern, rainwater collection system or otherwise, may be connected to the water lines within any property, if the said water lines are connected to the city water system. Cross-connection of any water source with the city water system is strictly prohibited.
(B) Any owner of property which is connected to the city water system, whether or not such property is located within the city limits, shall, prior to drilling or making connection to a private well, provide the city with a copy of a valid permit therefor issued by the state. All such private water sources shall be subject to inspection by the City Water Department Supervisor to ensure compliance with this chapter.
