§ 10209 Extensions For Service

This law says that if extra work is needed to provide gas or water to all the land that needs it, the person who got the permit doesn't have to do that extra work. But they must let the landowners do the extra work themselves, following rules set by the city or county.

Key Takeaways

  • •If extra work is needed to serve all the land, the permit holder doesn’t have to do it.
  • •Landowners can do the extra work themselves if they follow the rules.
  • •The city or county sets the rules for how the extra work must be done.

Example

A company gets a permit to install water pipes in a neighborhood, but some houses are too far away for the pipes to reach.

The company doesn’t have to extend the pipes to those houses, but they must let the homeowners do it themselves, as long as they follow the city’s rules.
