[Adopted 6-27-1972 (Ch. BH-V of the 1972 Revised General Ordinances)]
The Code established and adopted by this chapter is described
and commonly known as the "Individual and Semipublic Water Supply
Code of New Jersey (1966)."
A code regulating the location, construction, alteration, use
and supervision of individual and semipublic water supplies requiring
certain permits, providing for the inspection of such supplies, the
fixing of fees and prescribing penalties for violations is hereby
adopted, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 26:3-69.1 to 69.6. A copy of such code
is annexed hereto and made a part hereof without inclusion of the
text thereof herein.
Three copies of the Individual and Semipublic Water Supply Code
of New Jersey (1966) have been placed on file in the office of the
secretary, Clerk or other similar offices of this Board of Health
upon the introduction of this chapter and will remain on file for
the use and examination by the public.
A.Â
Permit required. No person shall locate, construct or alter any water
supply until a permit for the location, construction or alteration
of such water supply has been issued by the Board of Health.
B.Â
Conditions for issuance. The Board of Health may issue a permit if
an application for the same is accompanied by a certificate made by
an engineer licensed to practice professional engineering in New Jersey
stating that the design of the water supply as proposed is in compliance
with the Code.
C.Â
Issuance of certificate of compliance; operation of new water supply.
(1)Â
New water supplies shall not be placed in operation, nor shall new
dwellings or buildings or additions thereto be sold or occupied, which
must rely on such supply for water, until the Board of Health has
issued a certificate indicating that the water supply has been located
and constructed in compliance with the terms of the permit issued
and the requirements of the aforesaid code. Issuance of such certificate
shall not be required for alteration to an existing water supply.
(2)Â
The Board of Health may issue such a certificate if an engineer licensed
to practice professional engineering in New Jersey submits a statement
in writing signed by him to the Board of Health that the water supply
has been located and constructed in accordance with the terms of the
permit and the requirements of the aforesaid code.
D.Â
Appeal. In case any permit or certification required by this chapter
is denied by the Board of Health, a hearing shall be held thereon
before the Board within 15 days after request therefor is made by
the applicant and upon such hearing, the Board of Health shall affirm,
alter or rescind its previous determination and take action accordingly
within 15 days after the date of such hearing.
E.Â
Violation; stop-work order. The Board of Health may order all further
work in and about any water supply, which is being erected or installed
in violation of the Code, to be stopped forthwith, except such work
as shall be necessary to remedy such violation, and thereafter, the
work continued without any violation of any of the provisions of the
Code, and after issuance of any such order and the service of a copy
thereof upon any person connected with or working in and about the
erection or installation of any such water supply, or any part thereof,
no further work shall be done thereon except as aforesaid.
[Amended by Ord. No. 99-06]
Any person violating any of the provisions or of any order promulgated under this chapter or the Individual and Semipublic Water Supply Code of New Jersey (1966), made a part hereof, shall be liable for penalties in accord with the schedule shown in § 1-3, and each and every day that the violation is not abated constitutes a separate and subsequent offense.
