17.16.050 Standards – Water wells – Modifications of state regulations.
Standards for the construction, repair, reconstruction or destruction of water wells shall be as set forth in Chapter II of State Department of Water Resources Bulletin No. 74, three copies of which have been filed with the City Clerk, with the following modifications:
A. Add to footnote 1/:
Shallow dug, or bored wells used for community water supply shall be located at least 250 feet from any sewage disposal facility.
B. Part II, Section 9(A). Substitute “20 ft.1/” for “none 3/” (this automatically deletes the 3/ footnote).
C. Part II, Section 9(E). Add following the footnote following section title:
**Exception – where the air-rotary method is used for individual domestic wells 8" in diameter or smaller, the thickness of seal may be reduced to 1".
D. Part II, Section 10B. Delete entire section with exception of that portion of the first sentence which states: “Because of their susceptibility to contamination and pollution, the use of well pits should be avoided.”
E. Part II, Section 15(A), Item 3. Delete the phrase: “Where the water is to be used for domestic purposes.”
F. Part II, Section 16. Delete from Section 16 title the words: “Large” and “diameter” and substitute the words: “Bored or dug.”
G. Part II, Section 16(A). Delete the word “underground” from last sentence so sentence reads:
When used for this purpose, these wells shall be located at least 250 feet from any sewage disposal facility.
