15-1521. Supply of water to other public water supply systems.
On  any  application  for a new or increased withdrawal of water for a
  public water supply system, the department may require or authorize  the
  applicant  to  make provisions for the supply and to supply water to any
  area of the state which as determined by the department in its  decision
  on  that  application  properly  should  be supplied with water from the
  source or sources of water supply sought by the applicant. The owner  or
  operator  of  any existing or proposed public water supply system within
  such area may apply to the department for a permit to  take  water  from
  that  source of water supply or from any part of the public water supply
  system of the applicant supplied in whole or in part from  that  source.
  If the department so requires, or if it grants a permit, it shall be the
  duty  of  the applicant so to supply water, subject to such requirements
  as the department may impose. The price to be paid  for  the  amount  of
  water  so  to  be taken may be agreed upon between the applicant and the
  taker of the water, or if they cannot agree, fair and reasonable amounts
  and rates shall be, after due hearings  thereon,  fixed  by  the  public
  service  commission.  Any  such agreement or determination of the public
  service commission  may  from  time  to  time  be  modified  by  further
  agreement  between  the parties affected thereby or by the further order
  of the commission.
