How is a legally adopted and publicly owned water and wastewater service area defined. Our project is within the City Limits, on the outskirts of the city, adjacent to a major shopping centre. I am assuming that being within the City Limits would qualify the project as being defined as a wastewater service area. The shopping centre, on the other side of the street is fully serviced and the project will be serviced by city infrastructure, but is currently not. I believe this meets the intent of the prerequisite by providing the infrastructure necessary for service but I am uncertain due to the confusing terminology.
Please let me know if I am reading this correctly.

Tim, from the circumstances you describe, you're ok. If the municipality provides both water and wastewater services, and you're inside the city limits, and the city's pipelines have reached the adjacent shopping center, it sounds like a simple proposition of your project connecting to them. So the commitment you're making under SLLp1 is: 1) you're in an area that's eligible for services, and 2) you will connect as part of your project.
