In cases of commercial, retail, office, apartment or other multiple use buildings, the water use shall be measured by the master water meter, which shall be operable and accurate as to measuring the quantity of water consumed, and which water meter shall be read as to the quantity of water consumed and the owner of such buildings shall be billed at the rates and charges provided herein each month of a year for all water consumed. The owner of such buildings may, for such owner’s own purpose and with the permission of the District Manger, and without cost to the district, install a water meter for each individual tenant for the purpose of billing each individual tenant as to the quantity of water consumed by each tenant. It shall be the responsibility of the owner of any multiple use building to report to the District Secretary the name of any new tenant and any removal of a tenant from the premises being leased in instances where such owner does not have a master water meter installed as hereinbefore provided.
