A.
Except as provided in Subsections B and E hereof, no building 1) required to have a potable supply of water by § 225-203 hereof and 2) having a main of the public water system legally available for use in any easement or right-of-way traversing, adjacent to, or within 700 feet of the property line of the premises upon which such building is located shall hereafter be or remain connected to any private water system. Every such building shall, at the owner's sole cost and expense, be connected by a service pipe to the public water system in accordance with the provisions and regulations of this Part 2.
B.
Continued use of private water system.
(1)
Any principal building a) required to have a potable supply of water by § 225-203 hereof, b) served by a potable supply of water from a private water system as of the effective date of this Part 2, and c) having a main of the public water system available for use in any easement or right-of-way traversing, adjacent to or within 700 feet of the property line of the premises upon which such building is located may continue to use such private water system as the potable supply of water required by § 225-203 only until the occurrence of any one of the following events:
(a)
The well supplying such private water system becomes unable
to produce a supply of potable water adequate for the building and
its inhabitants without rebuilding, redrilling, blasting, acidizing
or similar restorative measures; or
(b)
The principal building is demolished; or
(c)
The principal building undergoes major renovation; or
(d)
A new principal building is constructed on the premises.
(2)
Except as provided in Subsection E hereof, upon the occurrence of any one of the above-listed events, the principal building shall, at the owner's sole cost and expense, be disconnected from such private water system, make all appropriate applications, and, upon approval of such applications, be connected by a service pipe to the public water system in accordance with the provisions and regulations of this Part 2.
(3)
For the purpose of this Subsection B, "major renovation" shall mean any repair, reconstruction, renovation, remodeling, or other improvement of a principal building a) that increases the gross floor area of the building by more than 20% or b) the cost of which equals or exceeds 50% of the fair market value of the building as determined before the improvement or repair has commenced or, if the building has been damaged and is being restored, before the damage occurred. Any accessory building requiring or otherwise having a potable water source shall be served from the same potable water source as the principal building on the lot in accordance with this provision.
C.
Any building required to have a supply of potable water by § 225-203 hereof, but not required to be connected to the public water system by this section, may, at the owner's option and at the owner's sole cost and expense, be connected to the public water system in accordance with the regulations and provisions of this Part 2 or be connected to a private water system meeting the standards and requirements of this Part 2.
D.
The construction and maintenance of private wells for agricultural,
irrigational, or other nonhuman consumption purposes is prohibited;
provided, however, that the Board of Trustees of the Village of Bannockburn
may grant a variation from the prohibition set forth in this subsection
upon a demonstration of good cause and no adverse impact on the groundwater
supply for buildings served by private wells in the Village.
E.
Where connection to the public water system is required by this section but such connection cannot be made without extending a public water main across private property other than the premises in question, it shall be the responsibility of the Village to secure an easement or right-of-way across such property or to waive the connection requirement until such an easement or right-of-way becomes available. Where connection to the public water system is required by this section and a public water main does not traverse the entire length or width of the premises in question in a public easement or right-of-way traversing or adjacent to such premises but does extend to, or can be extended through public easements or rights-of-way to, the property line of the premises in question, the owner of the premises in question shall, at such owner's sole cost and expense, unless excused by the Water and Sewer Commissioner on the basis that the proper extension, installation, operation and maintenance of the public water system does not require it, extend such a main to, and across the entire length or width of, the premises in question and shall, if no existing public easement is available adjacent to or across the premises in question, dedicate such an easement across the entire length or width of such premises, all in accordance with standards and specifications to be provided by the Water and Sewer Commissioner on the basis of the minimum standards necessary to ensure the proper extension, installation, operation and maintenance of the public water system. Where such an extension, other than across or adjacent to the premises in question, will result in benefit to the property lying between the premises in question and an existing main of the public water system, the Village shall adopt an ordinance providing for the recapture and repayment to the applicant of such benefit at the time of connection of such intervening property to the public water system. The construction of all main extensions required pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to the provisions of § 225-217 of this Part 2.
