Requests for water and/or sewer line extensions and service to properties not within the corporate limits of the Village shall be dealt with in the following manner:
(a) Property Contiguous to Village. If the property for which service is requested is contiguous to the corporate limits, the following apply:
(1) Council may impose any regulations and/or standards deemed necessary in connection with the application for, construction of and use of extensions of water and/or sewer lines, and the administration and enforcement of said regulations and/or standards shall be the responsibility of the Village Administrator.
(2) All new water and/or sewer lines shall be laid at the expense of the property owner.
(3) The location of all water and/or sewer lines shall fully comply with all Village regulations and shall be approved by the Village Administrator.
(4) No tap permits shall be issued for water and/or sewer service, nor shall service commence, until the property for which service is requested has been annexed to the Village pursuant to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code relating thereto.
(b) Property Not Contiguous to Village. If the property for which service is requested is not contiguous to the corporate limits, the following apply:
(1) The property owner requesting such service shall contact the Village Administrator and apply for said service, providing such information to the Village Administrator as requested.
(2) The Village Administrator shall then report to Council regarding the requested service and all information related to said request.
(3) If Council determines it to be advisable, it shall enter into a written contract with said property owner for water and/or sewer service upon the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties.
(4) No tap permits shall be issued for water and/or sewer service, nor shall service commence, until the parties have executed the written contract containing the terms and conditions agreed upon between the parties.
(5) Said written contract shall provide that if the property shall become contiguous to the corporate limits, the property owner shall be given one year from said date to annex the property to the Village; if not done, all water and/or sewer service shall terminate.
(c) Rate Adjustment. At such time as a property owner has requested water and/or sewer line extension and/or service to property outside the Village, and has fully complied with all procedures and requirements of this section and all other applicable Village ordinances or regulations, said property owner shall pay for that service the same rate then existing for property located within the Village corporate limits.
