High Groundwater Ordinance

In June 2001, The Jamestown Town Council directed the Planning and Conservation Commissions to review the Zoning Ordinance and consider enacting a high water table ordinance to provide local jurisdiction over development on lots where the subsurface water table is less than (3) feet.

The ordinance was adopted by Council in 2003 and amended in 2004, 2005 and 2007.

Main Focus of the High Groundwater Ordinance:

Protect groundwater by denitrification,
pathogen or microbiological treatment
Reduce Impervious surface coverage
Provide adequate stormwater controls
Protect wetlands and their buffers
Not to impede groundwater flow
