10.16.045 Extending service outside city limits.*
No sanitary sewer main shall be extended, nor sanitary sewer service provided outside of the city limits of Pullman as now existing, or extended in the future, except as provided below.
(1) When sanitary sewer service or a sanitary sewer main will be for commercial or industrial usage and the City Council has specifically approved such extension of service, with any conditions it may wish to impose.
(2) Sanitary sewer service or a sanitary sewer main can be provided to residential property which is contiguous to the city limits when:
(a) the owners of property desiring sanitary sewer service have initiated annexation proceedings by filing a letter of intent to annex with the finance director; and
(b) the City Council has determined that an emergency exists which justifies immediate hook-up.
*For statutory authorization, see RCW 35.67.310.
If annexation is not accomplished within one hundred twenty days and the failure to annex is the result of action or inaction by the property owner, the City Council shall have the option of terminating sanitary sewer service to the property.
(3) Sanitary sewer service or a sanitary sewer main can be provided to residential property which is not contiguous to the city limits when:
(a) the owners of property desiring sanitary sewer service have filed with the director of public works such documents as the director considers appropriate to ensure that the property of the applicant, or any persons claiming title through the applicant, will be annexed to the city of Pullman at such time as it becomes contiguous or is a part of a larger number of parcels of land which larger area would be contiguous, and
(b) the City Council has determined that an emergency exists which justifies immediate hook-up.
The city may refuse to supply services if the applicant refuses to execute any document as required, or attempts to impair or repudiate any document or agreement executed either by the applicant or a successor in interest, or a successor in interest attempts to impair or repudiate any document or agreement executed either by the applicant himself or a successor in interest. The city may refuse to provide service if property which is contiguous to the city is annexed and is later removed as the result of a reduction of the city limits or when the proposed annexation of an area fails or is held invalid.
(4) The City Council may impose additional conditions upon the granting of sanitary sewer service as it deems necessary consistent with and in furtherance of such policies as it may by resolution establish, or determines will be in the best interests of the city and the health, safety, and welfare of the community.
