Prior to the issuance of any building permit for new development, the building official shall require substantive evidence of an adequate potable water supply from the purveyor of water to the site for which a building permit is requested. For those areas lying within the service area of the city of Edmonds water utility, the notification from a duly authorized representative of the city's water utility shall be sufficient; provided, nothing herein shall be interpreted to prevent the city or any of its water purveyors from declaring a moratorium or other water emergency limiting or otherwise restricting the availability of adequate potable water. Applicants relying on a well shall provide a copy of applicable state approval for the appropriation and a current test of water quality by a qualified laboratory. [Ord. 3651 § 1, 2007].
