[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village
of Malverne as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
[Adopted 6-13-1923 by Ord. No. 8 (Ch. 47 of the 1972 Code)]
No person or persons, firm or corporation shall install or drive
within the Village of Malverne a well for the purpose of furnishing
water for drinking purposes, unless such well shall be driven to a
depth of at least 25 feet.
No water will be drawn for home consumption from any such well
until the same shall have been inspected and the depth of said well
has been verified by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Malverne
or by an official duly designated by it to make such inspection.
[Amended 2-14-1968[1]]
[Adopted 12-2-1987 by L.L. No. 8-1987]
It is the determination of the Board of Trustees, based upon
a study conducted on behalf of the Board of Supervisors of the County
of Nassau, that circumstances exist with respect to the sufficiency
of water supply within Nassau County which pose a potential threat
to the safety and well-being of its citizens. Accordingly, the Board
of Trustees does adopt applicable provisions of the Nassau County
Comprehensive Management/Conservation Program which is designed to
regulate or limit the use of water throughout the county, including
the towns, cities, villages and special districts, and provide for
enforcement of such program since it is the policy of the Village
to conserve, protect and manage the waters within its jurisdiction.
This determination has been made in connection with the action of
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in imposing
restrictions in 1986 and in view of the fact that the water supply
in Nassau County is dependent upon a sole-source aquifer system which
serves domestic, industrial, commercial and/or recreational needs
of individuals in the county, and the Board further finds that, due
to the sensitivity of the aquifer system, certain limitations are
necessary to curb water withdrawals in order to ensure a long-term
water supply.
