    Water mains are to be installed in the City by agreement between the City and the allotter. Water mains outside of the City are to be installed by a private contractor paid for by the allotter. The work to be done shall be to the satisfaction of and in conformity with the standards of the City Public Utilities Bureau if within the jurisdictional area of the city.

    In any area to which City water or water from the system of any other City having water treatment facilities is not readily available because of distance or for any other cause, before an allotment can have effective approval, a central water supply and distribution system shall be built to supply the allotment with adequate safe water to the standards of the city. Such a system shall be built to the design and construction standards of the City and under the supervision of and with the approval of the Public Utilities Bureau. No such system shall, under any circumstances, be built or operated under lower requirements than that of the State Public Health Department and state laws.
