Whenever the health officer determines that an abandoned or other well is causing a nuisance by polluting or contaminating groundwater, or constitutes a safety hazard, he may issue a written order requiring that the conditions productive of the nuisance be abated within a period of 10 days thereafter and shall forthwith serve the order upon the person occupying the premises, if any, and if no person occupies the premises, the order shall be posted upon said premises in a conspicuous place. In addition, a copy shall be mailed to the owners of the premises as their names and addresses appear upon the last equalized assessment roll. The health officer may for good cause extend the time specified in the order or otherwise modify or rescind the order.

The order of abatement shall advise the possessors and owners of the property of their right to appeal to the City Council and to stay the order of abatement pending such appeal. (Ord. 1547 § 1, 1974; prior code § 35.708).
