   The village electric system is intended primarily to serve customers located within the corporate limits of the village.

Electric service to any new extraterritorial customer shall be expressly subject to the condition that if the village requests the property owner and electors residing thereon either individually or in conjunction with other property owners, to file a petition for annexation to the village or to execute an annexation agreement requiring the annexation of the property upon its becoming contiguous, then the property owner shall do so.
