(A) Meters shall be located at the point where the water service first enters the basement wall. Where there is no basement, the meter shall be located where the water service first enters the building, or in a meter pit between the curb and the property line, if the Public Works Department deems it necessary. Such pits shall be constructed by or at the expense of the user and in conformity with standard plans on file at the town. The construction shall be approved by the Public Works Department.
(B) Meters shall not be set in inaccessible locations, nor enclosed, unless written permission is obtained from the Public Works Department. If a meter is inaccessible or enclosed, making maintenance and reading difficult or impossible, the Public Works Department may order the user to move the meter to an accessible location. Any cost of relocation shall be at the expense of the water user, and may be added to the charge for water usage.
