A. Due to increasing demands on the City's water supply, and to ensure that the City's water rights will meet existing and anticipated water service obligations, extending water service into any area not within either the existing City limits or the water service boundary as of the effective date of this section is subject to approval by City Council.
B. City Council approval shall require a finding that the proposed water extension is warranted based on a substantiated and written record demonstrating that:
1. The City's available water supply is sufficient to meet at least 128% of existing usage (calculated using a five (5) year rolling average of weather normalized unrestricted usage data) and the projected demand for water services within the proposed extension(s) of services; or
2. A unique and extraordinary event or circumstance necessitates an extension of water services to serve critical interests of the City; or
3. The area is an enclave (as defined by State law), or the area is owned or leased by the City, or extension of water service to the area will have a de minimis impact on the overall City's available water supply.
C. This section shall apply to any extension of Utilities water services notwithstanding any provision to the contrary. (Ord. 23-02; Ord. 24-23)
