it plumbers not less than two (2) feet below street grade or finish

the street abutting the property to which service is desired, the
City may extend its service pipes a distance of forty (40) feet
for and in consideration of the charges for a tap of its mains as
set forth in this section, covering service where water mains ex-
ist abutting property to be served, excepting that the customer
shall pay for and furnish and install at his own expense all facil-
ities needed beyond said forty foot distance from the City's water
;mains excepting as follows: That the customer or customers may
take advantage of the laws of the State of Washington in the crea-
tion of "Local Improvement Districts" for the extension of water
mains, and, further, that the City may enter into guaranteed reve-
nue contracts subject to approval of the City Council wherein the

'amortization, interest and all other charges incident thereto, said
