Sands Point Adopts New Laws
The Sands Point Board of Trustees has approved two local laws to regulate private wells and geothermal systems, aiming to protect the village's groundwater supply.
Key Provisions
- Private wells are defined as any man-made structure used to extract groundwater for nonpublic purposes, such as irrigation or landscaping.
- Geothermal systems are defined as open or closed loop systems designed to transfer heat between the ground and a building's heating and cooling systems.
Regulations
The laws expand local oversight over private wells and geothermal systems, with the second law prohibiting the construction, installation, or operation of geothermal systems without approval from the village board.
No geothermal system shall be constructed, installed, or operated without village board approval.
