(A) All water meters must be located so that, as determined by the Administrator, they may be easily accessed by the town for measuring water usage, for repair and for replacement, and the requirements of this section and § 50.114 regarding the customer’s responsibilities relative to the meter must be met at all times.
(B) No new water meter may be installed in a publicly owned sidewalk unless there is neither available and suitable public right-of-way nor suitable location on the property to be served upon which to install the meter. When five or more water meters must be installed to serve any one location, they may not be installed in public right of way unless, as determined by the Administrator, there is no suitable location on the property to be served upon which to install them.
(C) A new water meter may only be installed on the property to be served at a location agreed upon by the Administrator and the property owner, and prior to the installation of the meter, the property owner must execute and deliver to the Administrator an easement, in a form acceptable to the Administrator and suitable for recording, conveying all rights necessary for the town to install, read, service, and replace the meter, and to maintain all appurtenant equipment, lines and facilities between the public water main and the meter.
