(A) For new installations, the Department’s approval of meter locations shall be obtained before any piping is installed. Meters shall be placed on or adjacent to the property line of the premises to be served at the street in which the main lies from which service is to be given. Insofar as is practicable, such locations shall be chosen for the joint convenience of the customer and the Department, but the Department reserves the right to specify the location of the meter.
(B) Where more than one meter is to be installed at one premises, such meters shall be grouped in one common place accessible at all times. Where more than one meter for a new installation is to be installed so as to give each consumer a separate meter, the charges to the applicant for service shall be the smaller of the actual cost of the installation or the normal tapping charge for each meter, whichever is smaller.
(C) Where meters are at present located on private property, it shall be the policy of the Department to move the meters to locations on public property, or at the property line, as speedily as practicable.
(D) The cost of relocating meters for the sole convenience of the customer will be paid the Department by the customer.
