(A) Each billed water account shall have a separate water meter used for the purpose of determining the amount of water used for the purpose of billing. A single legal entity shall be responsible for payment of each account. Each separate meter shall be located on a separate service connection and subject to the connection fees of the city for new installation. Further, no service connection shall provide water service to more than one parcel of property, although more than one service connection may be authorized for service within a single parcel of property.
(B) Where a property is developed for leasing to several tenants, whether for residential or commercial purposes, one or more service connections each with a master water meter may be installed for which the property owner is responsible for the account. No account shall be in the name of a tenant unless a water service connection is separately provided and metered for the sole use of that tenant.
