If the Board of Health does not have qualified personnel in its employ
to certify to the Board that the application and accompanying engineering

Application to the Board of Health for certification is to be in

require the installation or erection of a water supply system or sewage
facilities, shall be occupied or used in the Township unless and until

from the Building Inspector of the Township. The certificate of occupancy
shall be issued by the Building Inspector only after the following
conditions have been fulfilled:
A.
In the case of completion of a well, the applicant shall furnish
certified well log to the Township engineer, which certified well
