(A) Before any water conveyed through the city water system shall be used or utilized on the land or premises of any person, there shall first be installed a water meter that will accurately measure the water consumed on the premises.
(B) All meters for residential housing and the other connections as may permit the use of the same kind of water meter shall be furnished by the city as set forth above at such time as the water connection change has been paid. In the event special meters are required for commercial or industrial connections, then the applicant shall furnish a meter of the type approved by the city for the connection, and an allowance shall be made toward the cost of the meter in an amount equal to the cost of residential meters.
(C) No connection of water or sewer service shall be made to any house or building unless the plumbing therein has been installed pursuant to the latest Minneapolis Plumbing Code, provided that this shall apply only to construction which has not been completed prior to this chapter.
