To be eligible for water service, the property to which the service is to be extended
must abut on a dedicated public easement in which a city water main is constructed
at a point immediately adjacent to the property; provided, however, that if the preceding
requirement is not met, the city engineer may authorize the extension of service if
the applicant for water service cannot dedicate a public easement in which an existing
water main is constructed. However, in the case of improvements installed pursuant
to the subdivision regulations, all improvements shall be the sole responsibility
of the developer. The size of the service connections and pipes shall be determined
by the city engineer.
