§ 50.060 USAGE MEASUREMENT METHODS.
   (A)   For any such lot, parcel of land, building or premises situated within or outside the corporate limits of the city, the service charge or rate shall be based upon the quantity of water used thereon or therein as the same is measured by the city water meter in use.
   (B)   On any such premises using water supplied either in whole or in part from sources other than the waterworks system of the city, the Safety-Service Director may require the owner or other interested party to install water meters satisfactory to the Director to the extent necessary to measure all such supplies of water, and the quantity of water consumed on the premises shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount disclosed by the meters. The owner of such premises shall report such other sources of water to the Safety-Service Director within thirty days after the sewer charge herein provided shall become effective with respect to such premises.
