All valve boxes shall be placed so as not to transmit shock or stress to the valve and shall be centered and plumb over the operating nut of the valve. The ground in the trench upon which the valve boxes rest shall be thoroughly compacted to prevent settlement. The boxes shall be fitted together securely and set so that the cover is flush with the surface of the ground or street. Before the permanent paving is placed, the contractor shall, if necessary, raise or lower the valve boxes so that the covers shall be even with the final surface of the permanent paving.
A. 
Hydrants shall be as manufactured by the Mueller Company, Centurion model, and be of the safety flange type or equivalent. Openings shall consist of one four-and-one-half-inch pumper nozzle and two two-and-one-half-inch hose outlets having National Standard tread with valves closing clockwise.

A. 
All water used on any premises or for any purpose whatsoever shall be metered. No bypass or connection shall be made or maintained unless covered by a meter. Only meters which have been furnished or approved by the Water and Sewer Board shall be installed. The Water and Sewer Board shall determine the type and size of meter in each instance.
B. 
Upon the application, a meter will be furnished to each service by the Water Board at the initial expense of the owner, who shall thereafter pay for the amount of water consumed as indicated by the meter, in accordance with the schedule hereinafter mentioned. The meters shall remain the property of the Water Board. Any damage which any meter may sustain by reason of carelessness of the owner or his agents or tenants of the premises, or from neglect of any of them to properly protect the same, including any damage or injury that may result from allowing the said meter to become frozen or to be injured by hot water, shall be paid to the Water Board by the owner of the property.
C. 
All initial meter installations hereinafter made shall include or contain an outside reader.
D. 
All meters furnished by the Water Board will be tested before being set.
E. 
All meters shall be located, placed and kept free from all obstructions, so as to afford easy access thereto, in order that they may be easily read and inspected.
F. 
No person shall in any way interfere or tamper with the water meter or the valves and fittings connected therewith without a written permit from the Water Department. Any person violating the provision of this rule shall be subject to the provisions of Article XI of this chapter.
G. 
At the written request of a consumer, the Water Department will test the meter supplying the premises of said consumer. If the meter on the test is found to be registering over 3% more water than actually passes through it, no charge will be made for the test; otherwise, a charge to cover the cost of removing, testing and resetting the meter will be made, as per Article XIII of this chapter entitled "Fee Schedule."
H. 
If a meter gets out of order and fails to register, or if the testing of a meter shows that it fails to register correctly, the charge to the consumer for water may be made upon the basis of any previous consumption which may appear to the Water Board to be an equitable adjustment to the probable amount of water consumed.
I. 
Adjustment, if made, will be determined on the merits of each particular case, and any deduction made shall not establish a precedent for any ensuing claim.
J. 
Claims for adjustment must be presented within 30 days from the date the bill is rendered covering the period in which adjustment is claimed.
