Water furnished to temporary and/or transient users such as contractors, circuses and other city departments and the like shall be metered and charged on the basis of the current monthly metered rates. Any use must be approved and inspected by the Water Superintendent in advance, prior to using any water. A fire hydrant meter from the water utility must be secured and used at all times while taking water. If water is not available, quantified “load counts” may be taken with the prior approval of the water utility. In any event, the user assumes all liability for loss, theft, damage, repair or replacement of, or to, the meter, hydrant or distribution system as a result of any negligent or improper operation. Except as indicated for this category, water will not be estimated.
