(B) On premises using water exclusively supplied from other sources than said municipal waterworks where the quantity of water used thereon is not measured by a water meter or is measured by water meter not acceptable to the City Council, the owner or other interested party may be required, at his or her expense, to install and maintain an acceptable water meter, and the quantity of water used as measured by such meter shall determine the wastewater charge as provided in this subchapter, or said quantity of water used may be established by agreement between such owner or interested party and the town.
(C) On premises using water supplied in part by said municipal waterworks and in part from other sources not measured by a water meter acceptable to the town, such owner or other interested party may be required, at his or her expense, to install and maintain an acceptable water meter to measure water from such other sources and the quantity of water used as measured by said meter, plus such measured quantity for the wastewater charge as provided in this subchapter, or the quantity of water used may be established by agreement between such owner or interested party and the town.
(D) In the event it can be shown to the satisfaction of the Town Administrator of the town, with respect to any premises, that a portion of the water from any source used thereon does not and cannot enter the system, then in each such case, the owner or other interested party may, at his or her expense, install and maintain separate water meters where necessary, so as to show to the satisfaction of the town that portion only of the water used that is discharged into the system, and that quantity of water so used, as measured by such meter or meters showing discharge into the system, shall determine the wastewater charge thereon, at the rates provided in this subchapter or, if the quantity of water being discharged into the system is established by agreement, such negotiated quantity, at the rate provided in this subchapter, shall determine the wastewater charges.
(E) The owner of any building or premises receiving water from any source other than said municipal waterworks shall register the same with the town, and shall install, at his or her own expense, metering equipment satisfactory to the town to measure such private supply, or, at the option of the town, may establish, by agreement, the quantity of water to be discharged into the system. In an interim period allowed by the City Council prior to such installation or agreement, the City Council may establish such charges as it deems equitable.
