Title 13 Public Utilities and Services
Chapter 13.04 Water
Article I. General Provisions
Section 13.04.1922 Outside the City Water Service
- City water utility service is initially intended to provide for the needs of the residents of the City of Spokane. The City reserves the right to decline to serve any area outside the City, or to condition such service upon entry into a written contract, upon such additional terms and conditions as may be determined at the time service is requested or thereafter, as municipal needs may require, considering additional expenses imposed or burdens created by outside the City service.
- Pursuant to authority granted by RCW 35.92.020, the director is authorized to enter into agreements for and on behalf of the City with owners of property beyond the City limits permitting connection of such property to the City's water utility service upon the terms and conditions and subject to the payments prescribed in this Article when, in his judgment, such connection will not overload or imperil the City's water system, including domestic and fireflow pressure, supply resources and municipal water rights, all as may be needed by current or future city customer needs, and as further subject to any other applicable laws or restrictions.
- In the event all aspects of service are not specifically addressed by contract or otherwise specifically provided any other portions of this chapter or chapter 13.01 SMC may be applied by the director, where deemed necessary, as terms and conditions of service to outside the City customers.
