§ 90. Accelerating or impeding flow of mineral waters. Pumping, or by
any artificial contrivance whatsoever in any manner accelerating the
natural flow, or producing an unnatural flow of that class of mineral
waters holding in solution natural mineral salts and an excess of
carbonic acid gas from any well made by boring or drilling into the
rock, or pumping, or by any artificial contrivance whatsoever in any
manner accelerating the natural flow or producing an unnatural flow, of
natural carbonic acid gas issuing from or contained in any well made by
boring or drilling into the rock, is hereby declared to be unlawful.
Pumping, or by any artificial contrivance whatsoever in any manner
accelerating the natural flow, or producing an unnatural flow, of that
class of mineral waters holding in solution natural mineral salts and an
excess of carbonic acid gas from any well made by boring or drilling
into the rock, or pumping, or by any artificial contrivance whatsoever
in any manner accelerating the natural flow, or producing an unnatural
flow of, natural carbonic acid gas issuing from or contained in any well
made by boring or drilling into the rock, by reason whereof the natural
flow from any mineral spring or any mineral well belonging to any other
person or corporation, is impeded, retarded, diminished, diverted or
endangered, or the quality of its waters is impaired, or the quantity of
its carbonic acid gas or mineral ingredients diminished, is hereby
declared to be unlawful. Pumping, or otherwise drawing by artificial
appliance from any well made by boring or drilling into the rock, that
class of mineral waters holding in solution natural mineral salts and an
excess of carbonic acid gas, or pumping, or by any artificial
contrivance whatsoever in any manner producing an unnatural flow of,
carbonic acid gas issuing from or contained in any well made by boring
or drilling into the rock, for the purpose of extracting, collecting,
compressing, liquefying or vending such gas as a commodity otherwise
than in connection with the mineral water and the other mineral
ingredients with which it was associated, is hereby declared to be
unlawful. The doing of any act or thing whatsoever whereby the natural
flow from any spring or well of that class of mineral waters holding in
solution natural mineral salts and an excess of carbonic acid gas, is
impeded, retarded, diminished, diverted or endangered, or the quality of
its waters is impaired, or the quantity of its carbonic acid gas or
mineral ingredients diminished, is hereby declared to be unlawful.
