10A.15.050 Service Outside City Limits.*
Water service shall not be provided to premises located outside of the city limits of Pullman as now existing or extended in the future, except
(1) when water service will be for commercial or industrial usage and the City Council has specifically approved the extension of service. The extension of service shall be subject to and contingent upon any conditions the City Council imposes as a condition of granting the approval.
(2) water service may be provided to residential property which is contiguous to the City limits when:
(a) the owners of property desiring water 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 a situation exists justifying water service from the water system.
If annexation is not accomplished within one hundred twenty days from the date of the filing of the letter of intent to annex with the Finance Director and the failure to annex is the result of action or inaction by the property owners, the City Council shall have the option of terminating water service to the premises.
(3) water service can be provided to residential property which is not contiguous to the City limits when:
(a) the owners of property desiring water service have filed with the Director 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 that property 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 a situation exists justifying water service from the water system.
The City may refuse to supply water service if the applicant or a successor in interest 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 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.
The City Council may impose such additional conditions upon the granting of water service outside the city limits as it deems necessary which are 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. (Ord. 88-23 §19, 1988).
