§ 13.60.010. Permit required—Approval or denial—Appeal.

No person shall drill for water within the city limits without first obtaining a permit therefor from the director of public works and from the health officer. The director of public works may deny the issuance of a permit if, in his opinion, the premises where the well is to be located can be served by the city water department. The health officer may deny the issuance of a permit if, in his opinion, the proposed well will contaminate existing water sources or be a health menace to the community. The applicant for the permit may appeal to the city council from the decision of the health officer or the director of public works by filing a notice of appeal, in writing, with the city clerk within fifteen days of the date of decision, and the city clerk shall place the appeal on the agenda for the next regular meeting of the city council.
