[WSBARP] Required expansion of Group B water system?

[Paul Neumiller]

I haven't heard of one but sounds you are working your way towards a private
way of necessity for water.

Subject: [WSBARP] Required expansion of Group B water system?

 

Is there any requirement under statutes or Dept of Health rules that a Group
B water system (privately-owned public water system serving fewer than 15
connections) MUST allow a nearby property to connect to its system, if it
has the capacity?

 

Alternatively, if an owner of property with a private well wants to
decommission their own well and join a Group B that serves neighboring
properties, can that be forced, or is it only a voluntary decision by the
Group B owners whether to allow the connection?

 

I would think that it's voluntary only, but imagine the scenario where
someone builds a house with a private well, then the well dries up. Is the
only option drilling a new well if the Group B won't allow a new connection?

 

Sincerely,

 

Eric
