Large developments in Upper Mount Bethel Township will need to adhere to some new guidelines for drilling wells.

Upper Mount Bethel Township supervisors passed an ordinance Monday regarding wells in the township.

The new requirements do not apply to properties with existing wells. There are also exceptions for existing wells that need repair or maintenance.
