Each lot in a subdivision created under this title shall be served by a public water system owned and operated by the city unless the city finds that:

A. City water service is not practical due to topography, distance from city water facilities of adequate capacity, extreme low proposed developmental density, or similar factor; and

B. Private water service will not be detrimental to the implementation of the adopted comprehensive water plan; and

C. Private water service will not pose a threat to the public health, safety or welfare; and

D. Private water service is necessary to accomplish the purposes of this title.

If private water service is approved, preliminary plat approval shall be conditioned on the ability of the subdivider to obtain all necessary approvals for the private water system or systems, and the final plat shall not be approved until the subdivider demonstrates, to the satisfaction of the city engineer, that the proposed water system or systems will adequately serve the domestic water needs of future owners of property within the subdivision.
