If the land to which the service is to be extended is contiguous to any part of the city, the owner must petition for annexation to the city and continue to exert all efforts to obtain annexation until such annexation is complete before the property is eligible for city electric service. In this case city electric service will not be extended until the annexation has been granted or until the annexation has been denied by the county commissioners. If the owner has petitioned and the petition has been denied by the commissioners before receiving electric service, the owner must enter into an agreement with the city that he or she will continue to exert all efforts to obtain annexation of his or her property, and further agree, if the owner sells his or her property or any part of it that he or she will require a similar agreement from the purchaser and will place a covenant in the deed requiring the purchaser to exert all efforts for annexation of such property.
