In all cases, dead-end mains shall be prohibited and all water mains shall be looped to provide service from two directions. The City Planning Commission may, upon the recommendation of the City Engineer, require the developer to increase the size of the water pipe in order to serve the future development of the subdivision.

      However, if it is recommended that the size of the water pipe be increased to more than eight inches in diameter in order to serve an existing or future area beyond the boundaries of the current and future area to be developed within the subdivision, then the payment for the portion of the water line in excess of eight inches in diameter shall be subject to negotiations between the City and the developer.
