      Sec. 25-130. Permit to drill. Before commencing work on any water-supply well, the registered well driller shall apply to the board for a permit to drill such well. A fee of five dollars shall accompany such application. If the water-supply well conforms to the Well Drilling Code, as from time to time amended, the board shall issue such permit which shall contain the name and address of the well driller, the date of issuance and the specific location of the well. The driller shall then submit the permit with a fee to be determined by the legislative body of a town, city or borough or the board of a district department of health, as the case may be, to the local director of health or his agent who shall sign such permit if said proposed water-supply well conforms to the Public Health Code. No water-supply well shall be drilled until such a permit is issued and countersigned and until the driller has informed his client, in writing, that well drilling is subject to regulation by the Department of Consumer Protection and that complaints may be directed to that department.

      (1969, P.A. 659, S. 5; P.A. 82-431, S. 3, 6; P.A. 83-207; P.A. 89-251, S. 160, 203; P.A. 96-17, S. 4; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, S. 146(d); P.A. 04-169, S. 17; 04-189, S. 1.)

      History: P.A. 82-431 required permit to show "specific" rather than "approximate" location of well and well driller to inform client, in writing, that complaints may be made to the department; P.A. 83-207 provided that the permit fee, formerly $1, should be set by the local authority; P.A. 89-251 increased the application fee from $4 to $5; P.A. 96-17 changed references to "wells" to "water-supply wells"; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 and P.A. 04-169 replaced Department of Consumer Protection with Department of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective June 1, 2004.
