Sands Point Adopts New Laws
The Sands Point Board of Trustees approved two local laws to regulate private wells and geothermal systems, aiming to protect the village's groundwater supply.
- The laws amend the Village Code, expanding local oversight over private wells and geothermal systems.
- Private wells are defined as any man-made structure used to extract groundwater for non-public 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.
The second law prohibits the construction, installation, or operation of geothermal systems without approval from the village board.
No unapproved geothermal energy systems are allowed.
