Requirements For Issuance: The Director of Public Works shall issue such permits only if one of the following exists: 1. The well will only serve one single-family residence, and the use of the Municipal system would create a health problem for the occupants of such single-family dwelling. 2. The well is to be used for monitoring purposes only and will be abandoned in accordance with State regulations at a set future date. 3. All other wells shall require a permit from the City Council.
