The Board of Trustees of the Village or such
other board as may be charged with the maintenance of supervision
of the public water supply of the Village or its duly appointed representative
shall make regular and thorough inspections of the area surrounding
the wells for the purpose of ascertaining whether the regulations
of this article are being complied with, and it shall be the duty
of said Board of Trustees to cause copies of any such regulations
violated to be served upon the persons violating the same, with notices
of such violations; and if such persons served do not immediately
comply with said regulations, it shall be the further duty of the
Board to promptly notify the State Commissioner of Health of such
violations.
Whenever a linear distance of a structure or
object from a well is mentioned in this article, it is intended to
mean the shortest horizontal distance from the nearest point of the
structure or object to such well.
Whenever it shall be found that, owing to the
character of the soil or of the surface of the ground, or to the height
or flow of subsoil or surface water or other special local condition,
the excremental matter from any privy or receptacle or from any trench
or place of disposal may, in the opinion of the State Commissioner
of Health, be washed over the surface of or through the soil into
any well of the public water supply of the Village, then the said
privy or receptacle for excreta or the trench or place of disposal
shall, after due notice to the owner thereof, be removed to such greater
distance or to such place as shall be considered safe and proper by
the State Commissioner of Health.
No privy, privy vault, pit, cesspool or other

excreta shall be constructed, located, placed, maintained or allowed
to remain within the Village.

the ground beneath the surface within 200 feet of any well of the
public water supply of the Village except into suitable watertight
iron pipes with leaded joints connected to a sewer system, a permit
for which has been secured from the State Commissioner of Health.
However, no such watertight iron pipe shall be located within 50 feet

No dead animal, bird, fish or any part thereof
nor any offal or waste matter of any kind shall be thrown, placed,
discharged or maintained or allowed to remain upon the surface of
the ground within 300 feet of any well of the public water supply
of the Village, nor shall any such waters be so placed or maintained
that the washings therefrom may reach any well without first having
percolated over or through the soil in a scattered, dissipated form
and not concentrated in perceptible line of drainage for a distance
of at least 300 feet.
No human excreta and no compost or other matter
containing human excreta shall be thrown, placed or allowed to remain
upon the surface of the ground nor shall such human excreta or compost
or other matter containing human excreta be buried in the soil within
a distance of 500 feet of any well of the public water supply of the
