(a) Any water used for a swimming pool will be billed sewer rates unless metered separately. An additional meter expressly and only to service a swimming pool may be installed at the property owner's expense, subject to rules and inspection of the Water Department. For purposes of this section, an eligible "swimming pool" means any indoor or outdoor structure, chamber or tank containing a body of water for swimming, diving or bathing which has a diameter of at least twelve feet, surface area of at least 100 square feet, and a regularly maintained water
depth of at least eighteen inches of water.
(b) Pool meters as described in Section 921.05(a) will be available at a cost of two hundred dollars ($200.00). This fee must be paid in advance to the Fiscal Officer. The Village will provide a meter and two couplings. Installation of the meter is to be done according to Village specifications by the homeowner. After installation the Village will make an inspection and hook up the remote where applicable. At all times, the pool meter shall be and remain the property of the Village.
(c) Pool meters will be read monthly. There will be no estimated bills. Charges will be based on actual usage to service a swimming pool and will be payable monthly. The first 2,000 gallons/month will be charged at the existing water rates, prorated per 1,000 gallons of water used. Any additional usage will be billed at existing rates. There will be no sewer charges for water running through pool meters which water is being used exclusively to service a swimming pool. Regardless of the presence of a pool meter, sewer charges will be assessed in those cases where there is no pool being actively serviced on the site or the water is being used for purposes other than servicing a pool.
