The Preliminary Plan shows the location of <br /> two well easements. Both of the wells are located within common open space area to <br /> be owned by the homeowners association. <br /> Community wells are regulated by the Public Water Supply Section of the NC <br /> Division of Environmental Health(DEH), which administers the NC "Rules <br /> Governing Public Water Systems". These rules include regulations pertaining to both <br /> surface water and groundwater withdrawals, and apply to all public water systems (e.g <br /> Town of Hillsborough and OWASA), and to all community water systems with 15 or <br /> more connections. <br /> Procedural Requirements <br /> Community wells must be operated by a private operator certified by the North <br /> Carolina Water Treatment Facility Certification Board. <br /> State and local procedural requirements related to community wells are summarized <br /> below. <br /> Prior to Preliminary Plan Approval <br /> • Well sites must be approved by DEH, and a utility plan for the proposed <br /> storage and distribution system must be prepared. Documentation from <br /> DEH indicating approval of the well sites is attached. The Utility Plan was <br /> included as an enclosure in the November 4, 1996 Commissioners agenda <br /> packet. <br />
