§ 414-4.801. Wells—Permit required.

(a)

Every person proposing to dig, drill, bore or drive any water well, or rebore, deepen, cut new perforations in, or seal the aquifers of any existing well, before commencing work, shall apply to the health officer for approval of the well site and method of installation and construction and for a permit to do the work. If a well driller is hired it is his responsibility to see that a permit is obtained. The application shall be on forms furnished by the health officer and shall contain the information he may require.

(b)

The permit shall expire on the one hundred eightieth calendar day after date of issuance if the work has not been started and reasonable progress toward completion is not maintained, but the health officer may extend the expiration date when delay is warranted.

(c)

The health officer shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the application and issue or withhold the permit accordingly, on the basis of compliance with this chapter and his regulations.

(d)

Upon completion of the drilling, repairs, alterations, or additions of the well and before a final approval of the well for use, a log of the well shall be submitted to the health officer. Where minor or insignificant repairs, alterations or additions are made, the health officer may waive the requirement for a log.
