(A) The Water Department shall, at the request of any residential property owner and upon completion of the proper application process and payment by the property owner of the current associated fees, permit the tapping of the existing residential service line, prior to the existing water meter, for the installation of a landscape meter and irrigation service line per village specifications and at the owner’s cost for recording such water irrigation usage that does not directly enter the sanitary sewer system.
