Applications for original licenses shall be made on forms furnished by the Department or, where applicable, by an ordinance health department. Each application shall be signed by the applicant and accompanied by an affidavit of the applicant as to the truth of the application. Each application shall contain: the name and address of the applicant, or names and addresses of the partners if the applicant is a partnership, or the name and addresses of the officers if the applicant is a corporation or the names and addresses of all persons having an interest therein if the applicant is a group of individuals, association, or trust; and the location of the swimming facility.
