location of each meter and service. Water meters shall be located
on City property or in City rights-of-way or in District easements.

For any parcel of land served by the District that is subdivided,
each resulting parcel shall be served by at least one meter. In addition,
the owner must furnish the District with a written agreement, or grant
deed, showing which lot, or lots, that existing meters are to serve.
The District may require that a meter be relocated to the front of
the lot served. Meter relocation will be at the owner’s expense.
If a written agreement, or grant deed, is not given to the District,
each meter will serve the property on which it is located.
(Res. No. 2020-02, adopted 5/20/20)
A capacity fee, based upon the meter size, will be charged to
each new applicant for service in addition to the cost of installing
the meter.
The fee shall be established by the Board of Directors. The
fee shall be paid when applying for a meter.
If water service is in existence and will be abandoned or reduced
in size at the time the property is being divided, credit for a capacity
fee will be given based upon the size of the meter being removed.
The credit will be given to reduce any additional capacity fees for
meters being added to the same property at the time of subdivision
of land or upon a request to increase the size of an existing meter.
No cash rebate will be made for removal of a meter or reduction in
meter size, and credits may not be transferred from one property to
another. No credit will be given to owners subsequent to the owner
who removed the meter.
(Res. No. 2020-02, adopted 5/20/20)
Meter installation charges shall be established by the Board
of Directors as set forth in Appendix B (Engineering Fees).

Subject to the District’s approval, a meter may be moved
at the request of a customer from one location to another on the property
served by it upon payment of the costs thereof, as set forth in Appendix

the location of the meter.

as applicable, as set forth in Appendix B (Engineering Fees).

Section 17.7.3.
Smaller Meter — New Location.
Should a customer desire a smaller meter at another location on the

Any customer may request his or her meter be tested for accuracy.
If upon testing it shall be found that the meter registers within
a range from 96% to 102% of accuracy at the intermediate test flow
specified by the AWWA, a charge established by the Board of Directors
shall be paid by the customer as set forth in Appendix A (Rates and
Charges). If the meter so tested shall be found to register outside
of said range, another meter of the same size shall be installed by
the District at no cost to the customer, and if the error is in favor
of the customer, the previous year of billings shall be adjusted and
a refund given on the next billing credited. If the error is in favor
of the District, the previous 12 months of billings to the customer
shall be adjusted and the customer shall be billed for the difference.
