Nevertheless, Purchasers argue that the determination of justifiable reliance is a jury question. While justifiable reliance may be a jury question in a fraud case where no contract exists or where the contract has become void, it is a question of law in a case where the contract language prevails and the contract's merger clause precludes reliance on oral representations.

Question: owned water system must charge the same rate to residents and nonresidents. The requirement that a municipality supplying public services to its own residents must act reasonably is stated more explicitly throughout Utah law. Article XI, section 6 of the Utah Constitution mandates that a municipal corporation supply water owned by it to its inhabitants "at reasonable charges." Utah Code Ann. 10-8-38 authorizes municipalities to construct and operate sewer systems and to "make a reasonable charge for the use thereof." This court has also held that water and sewer connection fees must be reasonable. Banberry Development Corp. v. South Jordan City, 631 P.2d 899, 901 (Utah 1981); see also Call v. City of West Jordan, 614 P.2d 1257, 1258 n. 1, 1259 (Utah h 530, 15 P.2d 648 (1932) (<HOLDING>). It is significant that Utah courts have
