§ 74-67. Conditions governing service beyond town limits.

The supply of water to any person outside the corporate town limits shall be on condition as follows:

(1)

Written application shall be made to the town council, in which shall appear the name of the applicant, the location of the premises, and the use and purpose for which water is desired. The application shall be refused or accepted by majority vote of the members of the council, except that water may be supplied to houses or premises on existing water lines on application to the town office in writing.

(2)

The rents may be more than the rents prescribed for the use of water in the town, as provided in this division.

(3)

Whenever the permission is granted, the town council shall require the party taking the water to enter into an agreement thereby agreeing to be governed by the ordinances and laws of this town concerning the waterworks and such special regulations as the town council may, from time to time, adopt and direct. Such agreements shall be preserved by the town clerk.

(4)

All costs of every description of laying water mains, sewer pipes and connections shall be borne, at the discretion of the town council, by the petitioner. These mains, sewer pipes, connections, etc., shall become the property of the town, unless otherwise provided by contract, without cost to the town, whenever the corporate lines are extended, upon the further condition that the town shall have the right to tap and use any water mains or sewers at any time without cost and that the water mains or sewers shall not be removed without the consent of the town. No other connection to the mains or sewers will be allowed without the approval of the town council. The town reserves the right to discontinue the service of water to any person using the water outside of the corporate limits without notice to the users.
