(A) All customers of the town’s sewer system, who are not customers of the town’s water system, shall meter their own water usage to enable the town to accurately assess the customer’s monthly sewer charge.
(B) A suitable place for meters, safe from frost or other damage and accessible for examination, must be provided by and at the expense of the owner or occupant. In any case where the meter is injured by freezing or otherwise damaged by act or neglect of the owner or occupant, it shall be repaired or replaced, and the expense thereof shall be paid by the owner or occupant of the premises.
(C) The town will supply meters 3/4-inch and smaller to all accounts where applicable so meters are compatible with the town’s computer read system. Customers are responsible for the reimbursement to the town for all meters supplied.
(D) All accounts are responsible for their own installation, regardless of size of meter; commercial accounts requiring meters larger than 3/4-inch are required to purchase their own meters which are compatible with the town’s computer read system.
(E) In cases where meters shall fail to register the amount of water used, the sewer charges shall be based on the average used during the 2 or more preceding years of similar length and during a similar time.
