The city will furnish water service in accordance with the regulations contained in this chapter and in accordance with other applicable ordinances, to any property within the city limits and to such areas outside the city limits as the council may designate.

In all cases water shall be supplied only through water meters installed as set forth in this chapter and in each case the customer shall be charged directly for all water passing through the meter, irrespective of the number of users of the water subsequent to its passage through the meter.

Applications for service to a premises for which a service connection has already been installed may be made as set forth in this chapter. Such application will signify the customers' willingness and intention to comply with these regulations or rates duly adopted, and to make payment for water service rendered.

If application is made for service to property where no service connection has been installed, but a distribution main is adjacent to the property, the applicant, in addition to making application for service, shall comply with the regulations governing the installation of services. Where an extension of the distribution mains is necessary or a substantial investment is required to furnish service, the applicant will be informed by the water department as to whether or not the service can be extended under these regulations as set forth in this chapter.
