(A) The city shall not be required to extend service to individuals within the city limits, a distance of more than 100 feet per customer, and only then when sufficient funds are available in excess of those required for the proper operation of the system. This policy shall not apply to subdivisions, subdividers or real estate developers of multiple lots. Extension of mains and services outside the city limits shall be subject to approval of the Council and shall also be subject to all of the rules and regulations and provisions as provided herein or as may be amended.
(B) Where individual service is desired and when funds for extensions are not available and/or when the distance is in excess of 100 feet per customer noted above, such extension can be made if the applicant will deposit with the city the estimated cost of making the extension, less the cost of 100 feet when funds are available, or the entire amount when funds are not available. The amounts so deposited shall be refunded to such customer or customers at the rate of $1.00 per 1,000 gallons consumed and paid annually until the total deposit has been refunded or until eight annual payments have been made, whichever event occurs first. Such deposit shall be interest free. In the event that the amount deposited is greater or less than the actual cost of the extension, such excess or deficiency shall be corrected by the party responsible therefor prior to initiating water service.
