In order to ascertain the charge provided in this subchapter, the owner or other interested party shall, at his or her expense, install and maintain meters, weirs, volumetric measuring devices or any adequate and approved method of measurement acceptable to the village for the determination of sewage discharge.

In order to ascertain the charges, the owner or other interested party shall, at his or her expense, install and maintain meters, weirs, volumetric measuring devices or any adequate and approved method of measurement acceptable to the village for the determination of sewage discharge.
(D) In the event that two or more residential lots, parcels of real estate, or buildings discharging sanitary sewage, water or other liquids into the village’s sanitary sewerage system, either directly or indirectly, are users of water, and the quantity of water is measured by a single water meter, then in each such case, for billing purposes, the quantity of water used shall be averaged for each user and the base charge and the flow rates and charges shall apply to each of the number of residential lots, parcels of real estate or buildings served through the single water meter.
