Permanent water service shall be rendered by meter only. In
order that there may be a uniformity of make and design and to give
the greatest efficiency in operation and maintenance, all meters shall
be of such make and type as specified in the Town of Verona Standard
Specifications and Details for Water Facilities as adopted by the
Town Board. Meters shall be owned by the district and shall be obtained
from the district at cost as may be established and modified from
time to time by the Town Board.
A.
Where a water meter fails to register the correct quantity of water
delivered through it or where it otherwise becomes out of order or
in need of repair, notice thereof shall be given the district by the
customer. Where repairs are found necessary due to negligence of the
user, the same shall be made by the district and the cost thereof
borne by the customer. When, in the opinion of the Superintendent
of the district, a meter becomes unsuitable for further use, except
when due to negligence or lack of care of the user, it shall be replaced
by the district. The district shall have the right to test meters
suspected of improper function at the discretion of the Superintendent.
B.
The Superintendent, or any persons delegated by him, must at all
reasonable hours have access to all meters and to all parts of the
premises to which water is delivered, for the purpose of inspection,
examination of fixtures, reading meters, etc. All persons using water
must at all times, frankly and without concealment, answer all questions
put to them relating to its consumption. All meters will be sealed,
and no person shall tamper with or remove a seal on a meter without
the consent of the Superintendent.
Whenever the distance from the water main to the point of entry
of the water service line into the building exceeds 100 feet, a tile
set meter installation shall be required. Such connection shall be
in accordance with Town of Verona Standard Specifications and Details
for Water Facilities.
