(1) The utility shall have sole authority to make discretionary determinations required by this code. Such discretionary determinations are required where the code calls for approvals, determinations, reasonableness, authorization, standards (or reductions thereof), judgments, estimates, requirements, sufficiency, options, impacts upon the water system and/or customers thereof and similar words or phrases. In each case where such words or phrases are stated or implied, they shall be understood to mean “subject to the approval or determination of the utility.”

(2) Said discretionary determinations shall be based upon the following criteria: anticipated impacts upon sufficiency and reliability of the water system; the water system facility plan; sound engineering practices in the field of municipal services; financial impacts; service to other properties; the potential to establish precedent and the impacts of alternative actions.
