All new or expanded water hookups within the city’s retail service area outside the city, as designated in the county coordinated water system plan, 1993 as amended in 2000, and not covered by an existing specific contractual agreement, shall require approval by motion of the Anacortes city council. In making its decision, the city council shall consider city policy as set out in the city SEPA ordinance and the city comprehensive plan. Advance approval may be given by the city council for multiple hookups integral to a designated project. No hookup for water service outside the city’s retail service area will be approved unless the applicant has been denied service by the provider for the service area where the property is located.
