lines.

Any city that owns or operates a water supply or sanitary sewer system may
extend the system into, and furnish and sell water and provide sanitary sewers
to any person within, any territory contiguous to the city, and may install within
that territory necessary apparatus; provided, however, that the extension of a
water supply or sanitary sewer system shall not enter into any territory served
by an existing water supply or sanitary sewer district unless such district
requests the extension of water or sewer services from a city. For these
purposes the city or sanitation authority established by an interlocal agreement
may condemn or otherwise acquire franchises, rights, and rights-of-way, as
private corporations may do.
When extending the system to any person, water district, or water association,
the city may consider the installation of fire hydrants on the extended lines. The
city may extend water lines which are incapable of servicing fire hydrants only if
the city determines that servicing hydrants is not feasible. The determination
shall include consideration of the incremental costs of adequately sized pipe
and associated pumps and towers, and the benefits of real estate
development, water sales, the availability of fire protection insurance, and the
reduction in fire insurance premiums which may result from the installation of
hydrants at specified intervals. When extending lines to a water district or water
association, the determination may be made in consultation with the district or
association, taking into consideration their fiscal capacity.
