B. No water shall be used through sprinkler connections
except for tests and in case of fire. In such case, no additional
charge will be made.
C. The foregoing charges are made for the privilege of
making and having such connections with the Township water supply
system.
D. Such connections shall be equipped with meters approved
by the Township. The cost thereof, including installation, shall be
paid by the owner.
E. Any water service, other than a fire line or fire-sprinkler
system, to any premises having a service line larger than two inches
shall be equipped with a compound water meter of sufficient capacity,
which meter shall be installed at the expense of the owner.
F. If the lines on which fire line meters have been heretofore
installed are used to supply water for general use in addition to
fire purposes, such meters shall be equipped with an all-bronze compound
torrent bypass meter, and the yearly charges aforesaid shall apply
to all such installations. In addition thereto, the owner shall also
pay the charge for all water shown by meters to have been used, except
water actually used for extinguishing fires, the amount of which shall
be estimated by the Township Engineer and deducted from the amount
shown by the meter to have been consumed.
G. Before any fire line or fire-sprinkler system in any
building is given any test, the insurance carrier or other person
making the test shall notify the Township Engineer at least 12 hours
prior to the making of such test so that the Township Engineer may
be present thereat.
