 the  supervision  of the permitted wells, to conduct regular maintenance
 of such wells, and shall not authorize such city or agency to pump water

 experiences  a  loss  of  necessary  drinking water which constitutes an
 emergency, as determined jointly by  the  commissioners  of  health  and
 environmental conservation.
   ยง 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
