however, that this section shall not be deemed to apply to wells not
equipped with pumps.
"Sec. 18-29-3. Analysis and condemnation of wells authorized.
The health commissioner, after analysis of the water of any well
used for potable or culinary purposes, may condemn and prevent the
use of such water if the same shall be detrimental to health.
"Sec. 18-29-4. Use of water from unapproved well prohibited.
It shall be unlawful for any person to use,or permit to be used for
drinking purposes, any water from any well, except it be from a well
constructed in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

- 2 -
"Sec. 18-29-7. Id. Manhole requirements. Manholes in storage
reservoir covers shall be fitted with raised watertight walls pro-
jecting at least six (6) inches above the level of the surrounding
surface. Each manhole frame shall be closed with a solid, water-
tight cover, with edges projecting downward at least two (2) inches
around the outside of the frame. The manhole covers shall be pro-
vided with a sturdy locking device and shall be kept locked at all
times except when actuallly in use.
"Sec. 18-29-8. Id. Overflow and cleanout pipe requirements.
Overflow, blow-off or cleanout pipes from storage reservoirs must
discharge freely into an open basin from a point not less than two
(2) diameters of the discharge pipe above the top or spill line of
such receiving basin. All overflow, blow-off or cleanout pipes
shall be turned downward and screened with removable screen,
(preferably 16 mesh) , to prevent the entrance of rain, dust, birds,
insects, rodents and other contaminating materials.
"Sec. 18-29-9. Id. Vent protection required. Any necessary
vents or openings through covers on storage reservoirs for water
level control gauges, city water supply inlets or for other pur-
poses, shall be constructed so as to prevent entrance of rain,
snow, birds, insects, dust or any other material capable of introduc-
ing contamination.
"Sec. 18-29-10. Connection to city system. Dtrect. Approved
source and installation required. It shall be unlawful to connect
directly the city water supply to a system supplied by a private
water source, such as a private well, unless the private water
system installation meets construction standards equivalent to
those governing city construction and unless the private supply
source is sampled and analyzed on the same basis and frequency as
the city's supply sources and found to be acceptable. Wells located
in basements of buildings shall not be deemed to meet construction
standards unless the tops of the well casings are raised to a point
at least eighteen (18) inches above the surrounding ground level or
unless the basements are drained through gravity lines which have
adequate capacity to carry the full pump discharge and which termin-
ate at ground surface above maximum possible flood level.
"Sec. 18-29-11. Id. Indirect;, Air break required. The city
water supply may be indirectly connected into the top of a storage
reservoir through a suitably designed and protected air break."
SECTION 2. That Sections 18-7-29 through 18-7-31, of the Revised Ordin-
ances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1955, be, and the same hereby are, repealed.
