WHERAS, in order to properly plan for the growth of the Village of Capitan, a Water Advisory Board and Planning Board was created for the purpose of assessing the quality and quantity of the existing water supply and to plan a long range strategy for the acquisition of additional water and storage capacity to meet the growing needs of the Village; and

WHEREAS, the Village had previously adopted Resolution 94-10 establishing a moratorium on Extraterritorial Water Connections and New Annexation; and

WHEREAS, the Water and Planning Boards and the Village Trustees have determined an availability of an adequate municipal water supply to repeal Resolution 94-10 and allow Exterritorial Water Connections and new Annexation into the Village of Capitan; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE VILLAGE OF CAPITAN TO:

    1.  Allow Extraterritorial Water Taps on Property that might not be contiguous to the Village Limits, but is adjacent to an existing water line with a restriction of          no more than 2 miles from the Village limits.

    2.  The Water Supervisor with the Village of Capitan would have final determination on the water line being of sufficient size and capacity to add new water taps.

    3.  Allow annexation of new property into the Village limits if the property is contiguous to the existing Village limits and a water line sufficient in size and               capacity is determined available by the Water Supervisor.

PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Capitan this 28th day of November, 2006.
