By such application, the property owner shall be deemed to assent, agree and commit to all rules and regulations, policies, charges and fees pertaining to the furnishing and utilization of water service.

   (F)   In the event that the village is satisfied that a portion of the metered public water supply consumed upon any premises does not and will not enter the sanitary sewer system, the owner may, at his or her sole expense, install such separate approved metering system to determine the portion of the metered public water supply which shall not be discharged to the sanitary sewer system of the village. Such portion shall be subtracted from the applicable metered public water supply to determine the quantity of sewer discharge.
