General requirements. 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 also shall be designed with adequate capacity and sustained pressure and in a looped system with no dead-end lines, whenever possible.

Accessibility. For purposes of this subsection, "accessible" shall mean that the property to be developed is no further from an existing water main than 200 feet for an existing single-family residential unit or the number of feet arrived at by multiplying the number of units in a proposed residential development by 200, or in the case of subdivision in which more than 20 units are proposed, "accessible" shall mean that the property to be developed is within one mile of an existing water main. To the extent reasonable and practicable, all nonresidential developments shall be served by public water. Lots serviced by the public water system are prohibited from furnishing additional potable water from a well. Individual wells furnishing potable water shall be properly abandoned once adequate public water is provided.

Looped water mains in residential developments. No more than a total of 25 residential units or the equivalent shall be permitted on the dead end of a water main on a permanent basis or on a temporary basis, a total of 125 residential units the equivalent are permitted on the dead end of a water main without a well and 200 units with a well. Temporary is considered three years from the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for that particular development. If a development exceeds the allowable limits for the number of units on a water main dead end, it is the applicant's obligation to loop the water main or provide a second source of potable water acceptable to the Township.

Individual wells. 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 in accordance with Burlington County Board of Health. Well installation, sealing and testing shall be in accordance with the NJ Standards for Construction of Water Supply Systems in Realty Improvements (Chapter 199 of the Public Laws of 1954), as amended, and in accordance with the guidelines and resolutions adopted by the Burlington County Board of Health. Prior to being placed in consumer use and prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building served by the well, the developer shall be certified by the Burlington County Board of Health that he complied with all applicable State and local regulations.
