The supply of water from the service connection may be measured by one or more meters. If more than one meter is used, they shall be set in an area not under the control of any tenant, and accessible to the Division of Water at all times. Where a building contains multiple dwelling units or one or more commercial units and the supply is measured by a single meter or master meter, the average unit water consumption shall be determined by dividing the number of units into the total metered water consumption for the last billing period; the water charge per unit shall then be computed on the basis of the average unit water consumption and the water bill computed by multiplying the number of units by the unit water charge.
