(a) Meters shall be placed as provided for the placing of meter tile and copper setter so far as possible and convenient, but nothing herein shall prohibit the placing of the meter in such other place as convenience may require. All meters shall be installed in a proper meter box or other place for the proper protection of such meters and the direction of the Supervisor of City Maintenance as to the location of such meters shall prevail so long as such direction is reasonable.
(b) It is deemed essential for the economical operation of the waterworks system of the City that each and every user of water from such system be placed on a meter as soon as practical. The Supervisor is hereby authorized to install meters as fast as funds become available for such purpose and such Supex'visor is hereby authorized to use his or her best judgment in determining which customers shall first be supplied with meters until such time as all customers can be supplied. Any water user who refuses to permit his or her premises to be entered for the purpose of placing a meter where conditions do not permit the placing of the meter on City property is hereby declared subject to having his or her water supply discontinued until such time as he or she permits the placing of the meter to properly register the amount of water being used.
