8-9-7: WATER METERS ON PRIVATE WELLS:
The city shall have the right to install a water meter on every main service pipe conveying water from any private well into any building having a sewer service connection in such a manner that all water from such private well which is used in said building shall be registered by said meter; provided, however, that any water for use on lawns or gardens, or for other purposes, which does not flow into the POTW may be bypassed so as not to pass through said water meter, and the city shall have access to said premises at all reasonable times, for the purpose of inspecting the water system, installing and repairing said meters and reading the same. If the owner or occupant of any such premises shall refuse access to the premises by the city for such purposes, the premises may be disconnected from the POTW. (Ord. 1759, 12-5-1994)
