(A) The City Council determines that it is in the best interest of customer fairness and public policy to establish a dual water meter policy. The goal of this policy is to more accurately reflect residential sewage usage by eliminating outside water usage that is not contributing to the city waste water collection system.
(B) All new constructions shall require the installation of two water meters on the premises. The second (dual) meter shall be for the purpose of metering water usage that does not enter the city sanitary sewer system. Both meters shall be installed and are subject to all costs, conditions, and inspections as required by §§ 52.07 and 52.09, as amended from time to time, and such other reasonable requirements for installation, usage and inspection as determined by the city to be necessary and appropriate to effectively implement the purpose of the dual water meter policy. New construction shall be charged for two meters on the building permit.
(C) Owners of existing structures may apply to the city for installation of a second (dual) meter to meter non-sanitary sewer water usage pursuant to regulations established by the city.
(D) The city shall read both meters according to city policy and billing for sewer usage will be calculated by using the reading from the main water meter.
