Pitless units or pitless adapters installed pursuant to this chapter shall be manufactured or shop-fabricated and constructed of materials which provide strength and durability equal to or greater than the well casing. The pitless unit shall be threaded, compression flange gasketed, or welded to form a watertight seal to the well casing. The top of the pitless unit or casing shall be capped with a cover having a downward flange which will overlap the edge of the pitless unit or casing. The cover shall be securely fastened to the pitless unit or casing and shall fit sufficiently snug to the unit or casing to be vermin proof. The cover shall be designed to prevent surface contamination. The design of the adapter or unit shall allow access to disinfect the well and access to measure the static and pumping water level in the well.
