Whenever the Department determines that additional water service connections to any public water system may result in a degradation of service to existing users due to deficiencies in such public water system such as inadequate source, treatment, distribution or storage capacities, or inadequate pressure or volume, the Department may prohibit, by order, such additional connections. Upon receipt of such an order prohibiting additional water service connections, the supplier of water shall have 20 days to request a hearing in writing in accordance with 7:10-3.5 on said order. At the hearing, the supplier of water has the burden of showing that the prohibition on additional connections should not be imposed.
