  • The village may grant a permit to the private owner of a well existing on the effective date of the ordinance from which this article is derived to operate the well for a period not to exceed five years, provided the conditions of this subsection are met. An owner may request renewal of a well operation permit by submitting information verifying that the conditions of this section are met. The village or its designated agent may conduct inspections or have water quality tests conducted at the applicant's expense to obtain or verify information necessary for consideration of a permit application or renewal. Permit applications and renewals shall be made on forms provided by the village clerk. The following conditions must be met for issuance or renewal of a well operation permit:

    (1)

    The well and pump installation meet or are upgraded to meet the requirements of Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 112, in effect on the date the application is submitted.

    (2)

    The well construction and pump installation have a history of producing bacteriologically safe water, as evidenced by at least two samplings taken a minimum of two weeks apart.

    (3)

    There are no cross connections between the well and pump installation and the municipal water system.

    (4)

    The proposed use of the well and pump installation are reasonably necessary in addition to water provided by the municipal water system.
