Public Right of Way use for line to serve public and private

Colleagues:  My city has been approached by a developer wishing to use treated "gray water" for an industrial use.  City staff is interested in diverting some of the gray water for use for ballfields in a public park.  Standing alone, the use by the developer would not qualify for installation of the gray water line in the public right of way.  Would the use of gray water for one or more public parks on the proposed water line route qualify the line for public purpose suitable for installation in the public right of way?  I thought one of you might have dealt with a similar public/private issue in the past.
