(1989) Provision of water to nonresidents is permissive, not mandatory, and is generally subject to contractual agreement between the city and nonresident. City's requirement that residents of unincor-porated portion of county sign a petition for voluntary annexation in order to have access to city's water and sewer systems is entirely consistent with this statute.
