Is it constituitionally legal for a municipality to prohibit welldrillin for water inthe coporation limits.?



Answers:
You ask an interesting question. You don't provide enough facts for a good answer however. I assume the city is prohibiting drilling in an area with either a limited water supply or ostensibly for health purposes. If in fact the prohibition is related to health and safety concerns, it's probably legal. If it's just because they want everyone to buy water from the city, it's probably not. Typically cities will couch such prohibitions in public health, safety and welfare concerns.

In the US, yes. Most cities specifically have ordinances to prevent any kind of drilling for environmental reasons,
yes if it is rationally related to a legitiamate government purpose. so the answer is yes.
