§ 98-40. Findings.

The city council finds that the use of certain groundwater wells and water supplies from such wells for human consumption or other purposes may constitute a public health risk and endanger the safety of the residents of the city. The identified public health risk affects premises that are located on or in the vicinity sites that are the source or location of contaminated groundwater, or where there is a known and identified threat of contaminated groundwater from a release. The City Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the public health, safety and welfare to prohibit certain uses of groundwater from wells at properties located in the vicinity of such contaminated sites in order to minimize the public health and welfare risk and protect the City's residents.
