The volume of flow used for computing basic user charges shall be the metered water consumption read in increments of cubic feet.
(A) If the person discharging wastes into the public sewers procures any part, or all, of his or her water from sources other than the public waterworks system, all or part of which is discharged into the public sewers, the person shall install and maintain, at his or her expense, water meters of a type approved by the village for the purpose of determining the volume of water obtained from these other sources.
(B) Devices for measuring the volume of waste discharged may be required by the village if these volumes cannot otherwise be determined from the metered water consumption records.
(C) Metering devised for determining the volume of waste shall be installed, owned and maintained by the person. Following approval and installation, such meters may not be removed, unless service is canceled, without the consent of the village.
(D) Any commercial property with separate water lines used for fire protection, sometimes known as “by passes,” whether connected with automatic sprinkling devices or otherwise, shall be supplied with a separate independent meter to control and register the amount of water flowing through such pipe. Such meter shall be of a type, design and size to be approved by the water department and Village Code and so constructed as to permit, in case of necessity, an uninterrupted flow of water. Charges for water consumption supplied by any separate independent meter shall be as provided in § 52.030.
