Property annexed involuntarily.
The extension of mains to property that is annexed involuntarily may be subject to the annexation provisions of Local Government Code. In those instances, the annexation provisions of Local Government Code may supersede the city code.

In the event that city resources and/or the capacity of existing utilities are not adequate to serve a use planned for a given lot or tract of land, a contingency plan which addresses the provision of those utilities must be developed prior to the extension of mains.
(d) 
Extension to property not contiguous to city limits.
If the property is not contiguous to the corporate limits of the city, the applicant for extension must state that he or she will petition for annexation when and if the property becomes contiguous to the corporate city limits. The mains shall be installed in accordance with city guidelines and under the supervision of city personnel. All costs of installing the extension shall be paid by the developer or individual requesting the extension. The city council will decide whether an extension will be granted on a case-by-case basis.
