RESOLUTION TO STATE THE GENERAL POLICY OF THE CITY OF WICHITA
FALLS FOR THE PROVISION OF UTILITY SERVICES TO ENTITIES OUTSIDE
THE CITY LIMITS
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WICHITA FALLS, THAT:
The following general policies shall apply when utility service is to be
provided to any entity outside the city limits:
a. All costs to establish the service, including engineering studies, admin-
istration, and the physical system, shall be borne by the entity requesting the
service. This also includes any adjustments required in the utility system of the
City of Wichita Falls that are necessary to provide the requested service.
b. In addition, the entity shall pay the cost of service consumed, such costs
to be computed using generally accepted rate setting techniques and procedures.
The established rates are to include capital investments by the City of Wichita
Falls in order to continue and improve the service in the future. Provided,
however, that individual owners shall pay twice the rate charged to like customers
within the city limits.
c. Rates shall be subject to review and adjustment on an annual basis.
d. If the entity or its intended service area or its extraterritorial juris-
diction is wholly or partially within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the
City of Wichita Falls, or is contiguous to that jurisdiction, the entity must
agree, under prevailing laws and prior to signing a contract, to apply for annex-
ation to the City at a time when such annexation is considered mutually beneficial
to the entity and the City.
e. Entities subject to annexation by the City must agree that new utilities
systems or subdivisions will be built in compliance with the standards and
specifications of the City utility systems and with all applicable City codes and
ordinances.
