Water Company v. Troy Borough, Appellant, 200 Pa. 453, October
11, 1901, Pennsylvania Supreme Court
Where a borough has entered into an agreement with a water company to
supply the borough with water, and the agreement has been carried out, the
right of the borough to establish a water supply of its own is exhausted.
Where a borough by an agreement with a water company has exhausted its
power to establish a water supply of its own, the borough has no power to
establish such supply because the water company failed properly to perform
its contract. The remedy of the borough is by proper proceedings to compel
the water company to furnish an adequate supply.
