(A) Whenever the property owner or owners of a tract or tracts of land, seventy-five percent (75%) of which are improved, signify their intention of using City water service, and if such tracts are not within the corporate limits of the City, but subject to lawful annexation, their intention to annex said tract or tracts, and further signify their desire to install extensions of City water mains at their own cost, on a cash basis, they may submit to the City Council an application requesting that the City ascertain the probable cost and feasibility thereof.
(B) Upon submission of such application to the City Council, the City Manager, City Engineer, and Director of Public Works shall investigate the proposed extension and advise the Council of the estimated probable cost thereof, the feasibility thereof, the recommended manner of construction and payment thereof, and whether or not in their opinion, such extension is in the public interest.
(C) The Council may thereupon authorize such extension upon the terms and conditions, which, in their opinion, shall promote the public welfare, provided that at least seventy-five percent of all such tracts are improved by water-using structures.
