The provisions of this chapter shall apply to water connections that have been made prior, as well as those that may be made subsequent, to the effective date of such provisions. Provided, it shall not be necessary to obtain a permit for a connection that was made with the consent of the City Council, or other authorized officer, of the city prior to the adoption of such provisions so long as the system thus connected is maintained in good repair by the owner or user, and does not tend to contaminate water in the water system of the city. Provided, further, such provisions shall not be construed in such manner as to impair the obligation of valid written contracts entered into prior to the adoption of such provisions.
