§ 52.19 WATER CONTRACTS.

   (A)   No property shall be served directly or indirectly by the city water distribution system unless the person so served, or his or her authorized representative, has first entered into a contract with the city. If the property to be served is located outside the limits of the city, and is for bulk or wholesale water service, such contract shall be approved by the Council. For retail customers outside the limits of the city and for property to be served located within the limits of the city, a contract complying with the applicable provisions of this chapter shall be approved on behalf of the city by the Director of Finance. Water service contracts for retail customers outside the limits of the city shall be executed by the owner of the premises served.

   (B)   Each person contracting for water service outside the limits of the city shall certify under oath the number of premises and dwellings served through his or her water meter, together with such additional information pertaining thereto as may be required by the Director of Finance. Any change in the number of premises and dwellings served shall be reported to the city within ten days.

   (C)   The provisions of §§ 52.35 through 52.42 are incorporated herein by reference for the sole purpose of construing contracts heretofore entered into by the city in which reference is made to this subchapter. For such purpose, §§ 52.35 through 52.42 shall be deemed an amendment to this subchapter.
