(a) The City and the proprietor of the plat shall install necessary water mains from the terminus of the then existing City water mains to the property proposed to be platted, the proprietor and City to pay the expense equally. However, in the event the City determines that a water main of a greater size would be advisable to provide a water capacity greater than that needed to service said subdivision, the City shall have the privilege of installing mains of larger diameter than that required to service the subdivision, but the additional cost of installing a main larger than that required to service the subdivision shall be borne solely by the City, the proprietor and the City to share in the actual expense of the cost of a main of the diameter required to service the subdivision. In the event other persons, firms or corporations require water use from such water mains, the City shall have the privilege of furnishing water from such mains to the persons requesting the same, charging such costs to the user thereof in proportion to the City's expense in the installation of such water main.
(b) At such time as the City deems it is necessary to do so and the City Council in its judgment believes it is economically possible for the City to do so, such decision to be made solely by said City Council, the City shall install lateral watermains within the subdivision, at no cost or expense to the proprietor of the plat or any subsequent purchaser or purchasers of lands within the plat.
