No application for water service to any area located outside the city limits shall be granted without approval by the city council. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

Applications for water service to areas located outside of the city limits may be granted only in areas where surplus water is available in excess of the water supply needs of water users within the city limits, and where providing such service is not deemed detrimental to existing services or inimical to the interests and operations of the department. Water service outside the city limits shall be subject to the conditions and requirements of this chapter, and also shall be consistent with applicable water right restrictions. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

All applicants for city water service to areas outside of the city limits shall secure a permit from the department. The permit shall not be issued unless it is found that the plumbing in the premises to be served and the construction of the water distribution facilities serving such premises conforms with the provisions of this code and other applicable regulations of the city and the laws and regulations of the state. The applicant shall allow city personnel and/or the Sacramento County Environmental Management Department to inspect the premises and distribution facilities at all reasonable times and if it is found at any time that any of the abovementioned provisions, regulations or laws is violated, the water service shall be disconnected. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

The application for the permit required by Section 13.04.410 shall be on a form provided by the department, and shall be accompanied by payment of the application fee established by city council resolution. (Ord. 2013-0014 § 15; Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

The department may discontinue water service to any area outside of the city limits when it determines that the continuation of service is no longer feasible economically or that continuing such service interferes with proper service to water users within the city limits. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)

Upon issuance of a permit in accordance with Section 13.04.410 and acceptance by the city, the city shall maintain all distribution facilities to which water service is provided pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 2001-033 § 1)
