Water Service Outside Corporate Limits

11.01 General Requirements: Water service to properties located outside the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo is subject to the provisions of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Pueblo, the Charter of the City of Pueblo, the decision of courts having jurisdiction, all rules and regulations of the Board, and to these further and special provisions, namely:

A. Application for water service to properties located outside the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo may be denied for, but not limited to, any of the following reasons:

1. Requested water service may overburden the Board's water supply or distribution system.

2. Requested water service may cause additional expense due to additions, extensions, alterations, or enlargements of the present water system.

3. Requested water service may require the procurement of supplemental or additional water rights.

4. Requested water service may affect the efficiency and/or character of the water system serving the customers located inside the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo or existing customers.

B. Water service to properties located outside corporate limits of the City of Pueblo, if granted, is understood to be in the nature of a conditional and temporary lease or rental. Water service is subject to all requirements and needs of the properties and citizens within the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo. Granting of water service shall not allow the customer any right or title of interest in properties of the Board. Even though water service has been provided to a property outside corporate limits, the service shall not be considered an obligation when citizens within the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo would be adversely affected.

C. The Board at all times shall be the sole judge of the type of water service rendered to properties located outside the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo. The Board alone is empowered to designate and prescribe the rules, regulations, applicable schedule or rates, charges for water service, and water rates to such outside properties. Charges for water service to such properties may exceed the cost of similar service within the corporate limits of the City of Pueblo.
