[Amended 3-9-1982 by L.L. No. 2-1982]
A. The Village will supply the meters, together with
the necessary valves at the expense of the builder for each property
according to the rate schedule. A separate meter must be installed
for each residential unit, including separate dwelling units in mobile
home parks and multiple dwellings.
B. There will be an initial meter charge which will consist
of the price of the meter, the reader and accessories. All meters
shall remain the property of the property owner and shall be kept
in working order at the expense of the property owner.
Each building or parts thereof having unrelated
occupancy or separate or distinct use shall, at the option of the
owner, have a separate meter, but said meter shall be secured from
the Village and paid for by the owner, together with the cost of the
installation thereof. Said meter shall be installed under the direction
and to the satisfaction of the Village.
If a meter is out of order and fails to register,
the consumer will be charged at the average consumption as shown by
the meter when in order.
No seal placed by the Water Department for the
protection of any meter, valve or other water connection shall be
tampered with or defaced. If the seal is broken, the Water Department
reserves the right to remove and test the meter at the customer's
expense.
