§ 765-070. EMERGENCY REPAIRS

In the event of an emergency, well repairs may be commenced without application for permit. "Emergency repairs" shall be defined as repairs immediately necessary to protect the health, safety, or welfare of any person resulting from the failure or contamination of a water supply. All emergency repairs shall comply with the standards established by this Chapter. Emergency repairs shall be subject to approval by the Health Officer. Within 48 hours, excluding weekends and holidays, of commencing emergency repairs, the person making such repairs shall file an application for emergency repairs. The application shall include, in addition to such other information as the Health Officer may require, the facts constituting the emergency necessitating the repairs. An inspection of the work shall be made by the Health Officer unless such inspection is waived by him or her. As a condition to approval of such emergency repairs, the Health Officer may impose such requirements as found by the Health Officer to be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Chapter.
