A. The City, upon Board approval, may permit users located outside the corporate boundaries of the City, to connect at their sole expense, to an existing City sewer, at a location to be determined by the City, so long as such usage is compatible with the City-wide system, the sewer system of the City has existing capacity to handle such sewage disposal and all materials and labor provided by such user meets or exceeds the minimum specifications established by the City.
