If there be a request from any one or more persons outside the city to use the water system of the city, the city council shall then consider each such request upon its own merit. Any determination made by the city council with respect to any one or more requests shall in no way be binding upon the city with respect to any other requests.
(A) If the city should allow any land outside the city to hook onto the water system of the city, then the following regulations shall apply:
1. The water lines to the city water line shall be constructed by and at the expense of the person or persons requesting the water service.
2. Any water line constructed shall be constructed according to sound engineering practices and to the standards of the city. The city engineer shall be the sole judge of whether the construction is according to sound engineering practices and according to city standards.
3. Any water line constructed pursuant to this chapter shall be of sufficient size to provide for future construction and shall be properly engineered to permit minimal maintenance. The adequacy of the size shall be determined solely by the city engineer.
4. The city shall inspect and supervise the installation of any water line constructed pursuant to this chapter. The person or persons requesting the water line shall pay all charges including overhead to the city for such inspection and supervision. This charge shall be paid within ten (10) days after the request is made by the city.
5. Anybody receiving water services pursuant to this chapter shall pay two (2) times the normal connection charge and two (2) times the monthly service charge.
6. Additionally, anybody receiving water services as established by this chapter shall pay the city an in lieu tax equal to that which a person who is a resident of the city would pay for services received which are not available outside the city. The amount of such in lieu tax shall be computed each year by the city for each person receiving water services under the provisions of this chapter. At the option of the city this charge could be paid either monthly with the water service charge or semiannually on the tax bill. Anybody paying an in lieu tax for a sewer connection will not be required to pay any additional in lieu tax as a result of the water connection.
(B) Anybody requesting a water service to the city as set forth in this chapter shall file a written statement with the city that he shall agree to any future proposed annexation to the city of the land receiving water services if requested to do so by the city. If any future property owner of the land refuses to sign a petition to annex to the city, the water service may be terminated by the city by giving the property owner thirty (30) days' prior written notice that if he does not sign the petition his water service will be terminated.
(C) If any owner of real property receiving water services pursuant to this chapter should fail to comply with anything contained in this chapter, the city may then terminate water services after thirty (30) days' written notice to the property owner with respect to the real property outside the city owned by such defaulting owner.
