§ 17.36.050. Water supply.

A.

No water distribution system is required for any parcel created as a result of a subdivision that is ten acres or greater in the case of prime agricultural land, or forty acres or greater in the case of non-prime agricultural land, providing subsection (A) of Section 17.14.230 is complied with.

B.

1.

Prior to the approval of a tentative map involving a subdivision creating one or more parcels that are less than ten acres in the case of prime agricultural land, or less than forty acres in the case of non-prime agricultural land, evidence shall be submitted to the health officer showing that water adequate for domestic uses is available on-site or from an approved purveyor to serve the uses proposed for each parcel that is less than ten acres in the case of prime agricultural land, or less than forty acres in the case of non-prime agricultural land, and the health officer shall so certify.

2.

Prior to the recordation of the parcel or final map for any division involving a subdivision creating one or more parcels that are less than ten acres in the case of prime agricultural land, or less than forty acres in the case of non-prime agricultural land, the health officer shall certify for each such parcel that is less than ten acres in the case of prime agricultural land or less than forty acres in the case of non-prime agricultural land, that adequate on-site water supply intended for domestic uses, including operable facilities, or water from an approved purveyor meeting the standards of the California Domestic Water Quality and Monitoring Regulations (California Administrative Code, Title 22, Sections 64401 et seq.) exists.

C.

"Evidence," as used in subsection (B) of this section, includes existing county data, any report submitted by a registered hydrologist or geologist or a state-licensed well driller, or satisfactory evidence from test wells drilled on each parcel, all of which is subject to the approval of the health officer. Where the term "operable facilities" is used in subsection (B) of this section, it shall mean either a test hold, well, or other approved on-site water supply which establishes to the satisfaction of the health officer that domestic water of that quantity and quality required by this code exists.
