   Upon the approval of such application by the commissioner, said commissioner may authorize the issuance of a permit to tap the city's water mains at a location to be designated by him for the purpose of securing water supply for the premises of applicant, said permit to be issued to and the work therein authorized to be done by a bonded and licensed plumber in accordance with the ordinances of the city.

   Such permit shall not be transferred or assigned to another person.

(Prior code § 185-56.3; Amend Coun. J. 12-4-02, p. 99026, § 1.12)

11-12-670 Water meters.

   Water meters shall be required on service pipes supplying all premises located outside the corporate limits of the city and the commissioner shall not permit the supplying of water to any such premises the supply of which is not controlled by meter. Such water meters and all control valves on supply lines shall be located within the city. The city shall have the right to regulate valves in order to limit the rate of flow.

   If at any time the meter or meters shall fail to register correctly the quantity of water supplied, or shall fail to register the flow of water through said meter or meters, the unregistered, under-registered or over- registered amount of water shall be determined by taking an average of 12 preceding readings of such meter or meters, exclusive of deficient or excessive readings. Where the meter or meters have been installed for a period of less than one year or where less than 12 competent readings exist, such average or estimate may be based upon a lesser number than 12 readings taken preceding or subsequent to such incorrect or stopped registrations. In both instances, the commissioner shall determine which are excessive and which are deficient readings, and shall also determine the number of months upon which the estimate is to be based.
