A. The water lines and system outside the City limits represent an extension of the core public water system designed to serve property located within the City limits. Neither the authority nor the City is obligated or required to supply water and/or extend the system to any further customer and/or development beyond the City's corporate boundaries if such action could be detrimental to other customers connected to the system.
B. Authority's responsibility regarding service line. Authority shall establish an annual budgeted plan that sets forth the committed projects for each fiscal year. Developers and individuals shall pay for all costs associated to construct line extensions. Should the PPWA's committed projects for the fiscal year be the same as the developers and individuals submitted project, the developers and individuals shall not pay for the extension. Developers and individuals extension request shall be submitted to PPWA/City staff for review. Each commercial and industrial extension shall be submitted to PPWA/City staff. Staff will formulate recommendations and submit to PPWA Trustees for review. Trustees shall determine, as funds become available the cost and economic benefit, so as to determine the PPWA's potential funding to extend service. Water meters will be installed by the authority at the end of the service line. This is in accordance with adopted water extension policies and procedures.
C. Denial of service.
1. If an existing rural main is not accessible, available, and/or of insufficient capacity, as judged by the authority's general manager, a request for water service shall be denied.
2. The general manager may cause a proposal to be formulated allowing for a new requesting water customer to financially participate with the authority in causing the water system to be enlarged and/or expanded so as to provide water service to the new customer. The proposal shall be submitted by the general manager to the authority trustees for final approval.
3. Each proposal submitted and approved shall be based on individual merits and is not required to conform to any other proposal.
4. Any such improvement to the water system shall become the property of the authority.
