Orange Municipal Code Ch. 13.20 Service Outside City

As to any application made to the City subsequent to March 25, 1969, to furnish City water to any real property located outside the boundaries of the City, nothing contained in this title shall be construed to compel the City to furnish water to any consumer located outside the boundaries of the City; provided, however, that the City Council may elect to furnish water to consumers outside of City boundaries if, in the opinion of the City Council, the interests of the City would be served thereby. In reference to existing outside water contracts or connections, such outside users shall comply with all of the terms of this title and shall pay for water at the outside rate which shall be one and one-thirds times the regular rates established by resolution of the City Council. In case of public disaster or emergency near the City, the City Council may grant temporary water service to areas affected during and for a reasonable time following such emergency at the rates provided for outside water users.
