History
A city has the power to provide itself with water and construct public wells, cisterns and reservoirs
and the authority to regulate the laying of water pipes and mains. A city may authorize the
establishment and regulate the use of a waterworks and sewer plant erected by a domestic
corporation or association which is organized to supply cities, or their inhabitants, with water
(A.R.S. §§ 9-240, 9-276).

members of the city council. (Sec. 1)

whose water service was terminated:
a) Fire damage to personal property;
