All new, altered, or expanded public water systems including wells and treatment and storage facilities necessary for the continuous operation of the system shall be located so as to: 1. Minimize potential breakdown as a result of floods, fires, or other disasters; 2. Except for intake structures, not be within the floodplain of a one hundred-year flood; 3. Prevent contamination of the water supply by existing sources of pollution; and 4. Provide sufficient property for water supply facilities to allow proper operation, maintenance, replacement, and storage of system components.
