Houben: We have reviewed the above referenced prolrcsaI for rezoning to allow a saumrill. Well number 116810 is the intended source of water. Ttris well per- mit was issued for household use onIy. A household use only well is timited to inside use for one single-family dwelling. /\s an alternative, this office sometimes issues permits allowing drinking and sanitary uses within an individual cornercial business. The applica;t's progrosalmay qualify for drinking and sanitary use and we would not object to the rezoning conditional utrnn the applicant obtaining a new permit for this weII allovring drinking and sanitary use. A household use or drinking and sanitary use well is for one use onIy. Such a well cannot serve two houses and cannot serve an office and a house. the only time we reconrnend that such a well serve both an office and a house is when the office is a trnrt of ttre house and no people outside of the home are employed in the office.
