a district health department may issue a permit for the installation or replacement of a
water supply well on residential premises that are located within two hundred feet of
an approved community water supply system, measured along a street, alley or easement,

use and is not used for human consumption, provided a reduced pressure device is
installed to protect against a cross connection with the public water supply, (2) the well
replaces an existing well that was used at the premises for domestic purposes, or (3) the
Department of Public Utility Control has ordered the community water supply system
to reduce the demand on its system, provided (A) no connection exists between the
water supply well and the community water system, and (B) the use of the water supply
well will not affect the purity or adequacy of the supply or service to the customers of
the community water supply system. Any well installed pursuant to subdivision (2) of
this subsection shall be subject to water quality testing that demonstrates the supply
meets the water quality standards established in section 19a-37 at the time of installation
and at least every ten years thereafter or as requested by the local director of health.
