A. 
As a matter of record, all meters in Town were replaced in February 2013. The Town shall furnish with each permit a water meter of a size and type deemed suitable by the Superintendent for the installation contemplated (up to 3/4 inch). Meters larger than 3/4 inch shall be specified by the Town and purchased by the property owner. The water meter shall remain under the ownership of and will be maintained by the Town. New meters shall be installed by the property owner under the supervision of the Town Superintendent.
B. 
All new installations shall be at the property line and the Superintendent shall determine the size and type of any water meter and the type of the settings. Outside meters will be used, except with special permission from the Town where obstructions or other considerations require that they be placed inside the building, in which case they shall have a remote head, in a convenient location, that can be read from outside the building and be set as the Superintendent shall require. When the water meter is set inside the building, the property owner will be held responsible for the protection of the meter from damage due to freezing, tampering or vandalism. Repairs and replacements of a meter so damaged shall be at the expense of the property owner. No "spool pieces" or other bypass devices shall be used.
A. 
The meter shall at all times be accessible to the Town or its agents. In the event any meter shall become in a state of disrepair or fail to register, the consumer shall be charged by using the reading of the same quarter of the previous year until the meter can be repaired or replaced. If access to a meter causes lost water or incorrect readings, the Town may estimate those losses and charge the property owner. When a meter is replaced at the property owner's request it shall be at the Town's expense. If it is changed at the property owner's request any additional time(s) it shall be at the owner's expense.
B. 
Water meter accuracy test is to be conducted by an assigned water meter person with the assistance of another person, if necessary. No accuracy test shall be performed without a work order from the Clerk-Treasurer. If an accuracy test is requested, a minimum charge of $75 shall be paid prior to the test being performed. In the event that the meter is found to be in error, the $75 will be refunded.
C. 
All meters shall be accessible to the assigned meter person for purpose of reading and repairing.
A. 
No person shall interfere with the Town, its agents or employees while supervising the installation, repairing, replacing, reading, examining or removing of any meter, or tamper with, alter the reading of, deface, injure, destroy or disconnect any meter or any connection thereto, or use water otherwise than through a meter, and the water supplied to any consumer who, by himself or through an agent, shall have committed any of the unlawful acts set forth in this section may be cut off without notice.
B. 
The provisions of Subsection A of this section shall not be construed to exempt any person who may have been fined for a violation thereof, or who may be charged with a violation thereof, from an action for damages on account of such violation brought by the Town.
C. 
It shall be the property owner's responsibility to pay the cost of any necessary repairs or replacement of a meter on the inside of a dwelling which has been tampered with as set forth in Subsection A within 30 days.
