CITY OF PLAINVIEW
POLICY STATEMENT
WATER AND SEWER SERVICE
OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS
SUBJECT: Establishing policy for providing water and sewer
outside of the Plainview City Limits.
SCOPE: This policy is established to provide general guidelines,
for the City Administrative Staff, in providing water and sewer
service outside the Plainview city limits.
RESPONSIBILITY: The City Manager shall be responsible for seeing
that the City Administrative staff adheres to the guidelines set
forth in this policy.
GUIDELINES: The first priority for serving customers with water
and sewer service by the City of Plainview must remain inside the
Plainview City limits. Water and sewer service may be extended,
in accordance with city policies, to any area within the Plainview
city limits. Water and sewer service for residential purposes
shall not be extended outside of the city limits for residential
or agricultural purposes. The agricultural and residential
customers currently existing outside the city limits shall
continue to receive water from the City as long as service is
continuous. If existing agricultural and residential customers
outside the city limits discontinue service it shall be
permanently discontinued.
Since many times industrial operations are unable to locate within
the Plainview city limits, due to site restrictions and other
economic factors, the City of Plainview, thru the approval of the
City Council, may provide water and sewer service to industrial
consumers outside the city limits with the primary consideration
for said approval resting upon the economic impact the industrial
consumer may have on the City of Plainview and the surrounding
area. The extension of water and sewer outside the City limits
will be in accordance with City policies unless otherwise approved
by the Plainview City Council.
