§ 26-128. Water and sewer service outside city limits.
When economically feasible, the water department of the city, at its expense, will extend its water and sewer systems along existing county roads into areas adjacent to the city's corporate limits. The installation of water and sewer lines in all subdivisions, both residential and industrial, will be at the expense of the developer. Service will be on the following basis, each premises being serviced through a separate and metered service with the following connection charges in effect:

The following schedule of water charges outside the city limits is hereby fixed and established:
Rate 1 (Minimum monthly bill—Water and sewer service)
A minimum monthly bill of not less than thirteen dollars and forty cents ($13.40) shall be paid for each meter for which consumption or usage does not exceed four hundred (400) cubic feet of water.
Rate 2 (Additional usage—Water and sewer service)
For each meter for which there may be consumed or used more than four hundred (400) cubic feet of water per month, payment shall be made at the following rates:
For the first one thousand (1,000) cubic feet used in excess of four hundred (400) cubic feet, the charge shall be fourteen dollars and fifty-nine cents ($14.59) per M cubic feet.
For additional cubic feet used in excess of one thousand four hundred (1,400) cubic feet, the charge shall be sixteen dollars and nine cents ($16.09) per M cubic feet.
Customers outside the municipal limits, but served by city water services, shall pay a monthly sewer bill equal to one hundred fifty (150) percent of each respective customer's total monthly water bill for the months of January through December, where sanitary sewer lines are available.
Provided, however, if any sewer customer outside the municipal limits who is served exclusively by city water services produces two hundred thousand (200,000) gallons or more of wastewater per day to be processed through the city wastewater facility, such customer shall pay an amount for monthly sewer service equal to one hundred (100) percent of such customer's monthly water bill. Sewer customers outside the municipal limits who are not served by city water services exclusively shall pay a monthly sewer bill equal to one hundred fifty (150) percent of what their monthly water bill would be if city water rates applied to such customer's actual water usage, provided that the water association which provides water service to such customers will provide to the city the monthly water meter readings for all of its customers served by city sewer without charge to the city or by other agreement. If the water association which provides water service to city sewer customers who are outside the municipal limits will not provide water meter readings, then the city sewer customers will pay a monthly sewer fee in an amount equal to one hundred fifty (150) percent of the average monthly water bill for residential customers of the certificated area of the Tupelo Water and Light Department from the previous calendar year. This flat rate will be adjusted at the beginning of each calendar year. Industrial waste surcharges for customers located outside the corporate limits shall be the same as for industrial customers located inside the corporate limits of the city. In the event that there is any conflict or overlap between section 26-122 and this section, this section shall take precedence.
Rate 3 (Minimum monthly bill—Water service only)
A minimum monthly bill of not less than fourteen dollars and three cents ($14.03) shall be paid for each meter for which consumption or usage does not exceed four hundred (400) cubic feet of water.
Rate 4 (Additional usage—Water service only)
For each meter for which there may be consumed or used more than four hundred (400) cubic feet of water per month, payment shall be made at the following rates:
For the first one thousand (1,000) cubic feet used in excess of four hundred (400) cubic feet, the charge shall be fifteen dollars and twenty-eight cents ($15.28) per M cubic feet.
For additional cubic feet used in excess of one thousand four hundred (1,400) cubic feet, the charge shall be sixteen dollars and eighty-four cents ($16.84) per M cubic feet.
