Sec. 14.1.
Community water supply; minimum setback zone.
A minimum setback zone is established for the location of each new community
water supply well as follows:
(a) No new community water supply well may be located within 200 feet

the regulations promulgated thereunder.
(d) For the purposes of this Section, a community water supply well is
"new" if it is constructed after September 24, 1987.
(e) Nothing in this Section shall affect the minimum distance requirements
for new community water supply wells relative to common sources of sanitary
