(A) All lawn sprinkling meters must be installed in such a manner as to provide a direct reading of the amount of water used for lawn sprinkling and for a direct reading of the amount of water used that is subject to a sewer charge. Water meters installed in “series,” where one meter reading is subtracted from another meter reading, will no longer be allowed.
(B) The prevailing rates and charges, as found in the Water Rates and Charges for the North Judson Municipal Water Utility (see § 51.01), will govern the installation of lawn sprinkler meters.
(C) (1) All current lawn sprinkler meters that are connected in a “series” fashion as of the adoption of this section are hereby grandfathered.
(2) Whenever maintenance is needed on the water meters or lines running to the water meters, the metering system must be brought up to code to provide direct readings.
(D) If a lawn sprinkler system is not installed to code, only the primary meter will be read by the town, and all water used will be charged at the prevailing sewage rate.
