(A) Existing water lines outside of the corporate limits of the city.
(1) If there is an existing agreement that allows property owners outside of the city to connect to the water lines connected to the city's water system the agreement shall be followed.
(2) If there is no prior agreement or City Council action allowing property owners outside of the city to connect to the water lines, no property outside city limits shall be allowed to connect to the city water main without an agreement to annex into the city should at any time in the future the property become contiguous to the city.
(3) A water service line can only service one property and cannot run across one property to another property.
(4) Within one year of the passage of this section, all water lines that exist outside of the city and that are not owned and maintained by the city will have installed a backflow prevention device per the cross-connection control section of this chapter. As determined by the PWD, the backflow prevention device shall be located as near as possible to the city border. The city, at its discretion, may, at any time it desires, install a stop valve on the city side of the backflow prevention device, such stop valve being within the city limits. Should the owner of a water line outside of the city limits fail to comply with this division, the city will install such a backflow prevention device and charge the owner or owners for all material, labor and equipment used to install the device.
(B) Any future extensions of the city water main system outside of the city limits is prohibited unless it is part of an annexation agreement or as agreed to by City Council action.
