4.310 Sewer Permits or Connections Outside City Limits.

No sewer permit shall be issued or sewer connection allowed for property located outside the City limits without City council approval. Such approval may be given under the following circumstances:

(1) Where there are prior City commitments made during negotiations for right-of-way acquisition, or

(2) When required by the Camp White Trunk Line Agreement of March 3, 1969, or

(3) Upon request of a homeowner when the following findings are made:

(a) Service could be provided in a logical and efficient manner by connection to the City system, and

(b) Service could be for the benefit of a dwelling unit located within the Urban Growth Boundary which existed in that location prior to September 30, 1978, and

(d) There is no other reasonable solution which would serve to alleviate the danger to public health, and

(e) There is a demonstrable reason why such property cannot be immediately annexed to the City; or

(4) Upon request by Rogue Valley Sewer Services for the purpose of providing service to property within the boundaries of RVS when

(a) Such service cannot be efficiently provided by RVS, and

(b) Service can be efficiently provided by the City, and

(d) There is a demonstrable reason why such property cannot be annexed to the City.

Unless required by the Camp White Trunk Line Agreement, no extension of sewer service outside the City limits shall be made until and unless the recipient property owner agrees in writing to the annexation of the subject property to the City of Medford at such time as the City shall determine that such annexation is in the best interests of the City. Such consent to annex shall be an irrevocable covenant running with the title to the land and shall be binding upon all heirs and assigns.
