The City, through the City Manager, shall furnish water to persons within its corporate limits whose premises abut a street or alley in which a City commercial main now is or may hereafter be laid, and may furnish water to persons within its corporate limits whose premises do not abut a street or alley in which a City commercial main now is or may hereafter be laid, as and when, according to law, the City Manager may see fit to do so. The City, by resolution of its Mayor and Council, shall have the authority to contract with any person to sell water service beyond its corporate limits when, in the judgment of the Mayor and Council, it is beneficial for the City to do so. The City shall not incur any cost or expense in extending the means of such service beyond its existing mains. Service shall not be instituted or continued except to the extent that the facilities of the City for supplying water services are in excess of the requirements of the inhabitants of the City.
