15.20.110 - UTILITY SERVICE CONTRACT-- DETERMINATION BY CITY.
The city's willingness to execute or renew utility service contracts shall be predicated upon its determination that excess or reserved capacity is available from unused domestic and noncontracted commercial/industrial capacity, and that such capacity need not be reserved for that purpose for the proposed term of the utility service contract. This determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis and shall be predicated upon an analysis of current and projected loading of the system at the time the request for service is made. In no event shall a utility service contract be executed without specific finding by the legislative body, after a sewer system analysis by the public works department, that the capacity requested is available. All utility service contracts shall clearly declare that no rights to service beyond the contract term shall be construed by reason of the parties' execution of the contract. An additional criteria upon which the city shall predicate its determination to provide or limit service shall be the ability of the requesting party to pretreat waste so as to reduce the discharge of suspended solid to levels consistent with the excess capacity available for all users of the treatment facility.
