Notwithstanding any provision of this article, the Board may grant a permit for the construction, repair, or abandonment of any well by its informal, verbal authorization, if it determines that an emergency situation exists with respect to the necessity for the construction, repair, or abandonment of the well. The well drilling contractor shall also obtain the approval of the local director of health or his agent, for the work intended to be done. Within a reasonable time after giving its authorization, the Board shall require that a written application for a permit, and, if necessary, a written application for a special exemption shall be made, in compliance with the provisions of this article and Sections 25-130 and 25-133 of the General Statutes. In the event the formal application for the permit or exemption is refused, the well drilling contractor shall, upon written notification by the Board, immediately cease all work on the well.
