WHEREAS, It is the intention of the City that the City Department of Public Works (the “Department”) shall not grant final approval for this connection to the City water utility system until such time as it shall be satisfied that the proposed connection shall not result in or cause an inadequate water flow to the Property or to other properties served by the affected City water utility line and that the proposed connection satisfies other requirements of the Department; and
WHEREAS, The parties believe it is in the public interest to permit the Property Owner to connect to the City water utility system; and
WHEREAS, The attached agreement and permit do not include a request for sanitary sewer service; and
