§ 307-4. Changes to standards.

The regulations known as "Standards for Construction of Public Noncommunity and Nonpublic Water Systems" shall be in full force and effect in the Borough of Netcong, except that the following regulations or higher standards are hereby prescribed:

A. 

Location of wells. Every well shall be located at a higher elevation than any individual sewage disposal system serving the same property unless site conditions peculiar to a property render this requirement unreasonable.

B. 

Storage of water. Water shall be stored only in impervious tanks protected against surface drainage. All tanks shall be provided with watertight covers, and any overflow or ventilation openings shall be covered with a metallic screen of not less than 16 mesh to prevent the entrance of insects and vermin. No storage tank shall have a drainage connection directly to a sewer.

C. 

Distribution system.

(1) 

The distribution system shall conform to recognized and generally accepted engineering practices.

(2) 

When potable and nonpotable water are used on the same premises or where other piping systems are present, each piping system shall be properly identified.

(3) 

Each and every outlet of a nonpotable water supply shall be conspicuously identified by the posting and maintaining of a permanent sign or notice reading "NOT FOR DRINKING OR CULINARY PURPOSES." These spigots or valves shall include locking devices.

D. 

Protection of potable water supply. Water from approved public potable water supplies, nonpotable water supplies of water supplies from a private source acceptable to the Board of Health shall be distributed through piping systems entirely independent of each other. Cross-connections or physical connections between an approved public potable water supply and an unimproved water supply are prohibited. Individual or semipublic water supplies acceptable to the Board of Health shall not be physically cross-connected to water supplies not having such acceptance.
