The Commissioner is authorized to supply water at the City limits to premises located in any area outside the corporate limits of the City, but only when specifically in each case authorized to do so by order of the City Council. The authority herein granted to the said Commissioner shall not be extended to private persons or corporations when said service can be furnished by the city, village, township or sanitary district within the boundaries of which the private persons or corporations are located; provided, however, when said service cannot be furnished immediately then upon written notice to said Commissioner from the properly authorized officials that they have no water supply in the immediate vicinity and have no objection to the City of Chicago supplying said service, provided it meets with the other city, village, township or sanitary district's approval, then the service may be obtained after it is duly authorized so to do by an order of the City Council.
