Where public water is accessible, water mains shall be constructed in such a manner as to make adequate water service available to each lot or building within the development. The entire system shall be designed in accordance with the requirements and standards of the local and/or State agency having approval authority and shall be subject to their approval. The system shall also be designed with adequate capacity and sustained pressure and in a looped system with no dead-end lines, whenever possible.

When a residential subdivision is to be served by a water utility company, the subdivider shall provide for the installation of service lines with a minimum diameter of six (6) inches in the street right-of-way. Each lot shall be served by a three-fourths (3/4) inch size Type K service line from the nearest street main.

Where no public water is accessible, water shall be furnished on an individual lot basis. If wells are installed on each lot and the lot also contains its own sewage disposal facilities, the wells shall be of the drilled type with a minimum of fifty (50) feet of casing. Well installation, sealing and testing shall be in accordance with the New Jersey Standards for Construction of Water Supply Systems in Realty Improvements (Ordinance 199 of the Public Laws of 1954), as amended. The well will be required to have a production of not less than six (6) gallons per minute as established by bailor tests, and certified by the well driller. Before being placed in consumer use, it shall be disinfected by the use of sodium hypochlorite or other acceptable solutions and a sample collected by a local or State Health Department representative for bacteriological examination. A copy of the result of the above referred to bailor tests and bacteriological examination and a certificate from the local or State Health Officer that the owner has complied with the applicable local or State health regulations shall be submitted to the Township before the issuance of building permits in connection with each individual lot.

All buildings for which a Certificate of Occupancy is granted shall be within four hundred (400) feet, measured from the midpoint of the street frontage, of a functioning fire hydrant approved by the appropriate fire company.
