Unless special permission is granted by the Water Superintendent, each premises shall have a separate and distinct service connection, and where permission is granted for branch systems, each branch system shall have its own separate meter and separate curb cock. The supply of water through each separate service must be recorded by 1 meter only, for which only 1 account will be rendered by the city. If additional or auxiliary meters are desired for recording the subdivision of supply, they must be furnished and set by the owner or consumer at his or her expense and he or she must assume all responsibility for reading and maintaining the same.
