Fire protection pipes to be used in case of fire will be allowed within and without buildings on the following conditions:
(A) When the consumer desires, or when the building or fire code calls for a certain size pipe to supply water to a wet or dry sprinkler system without those connections, the pipe or pipes may be served by an approved proportional meter or detector check. The consumer or consumer's agent of the building shall make written application and agree in writing that water supplied through this service will not be used for any purpose except for extinguishing a fire. If at any time it is found that hose connections have been added to the system or that registration is recorded on the meter or detector check, the immediate installation of a compound meter will be required by the city at the consumer's expense.
(B) A minimum service charge shall be billed each month to the owner or agent of the property supplied. No charge shall be made for water used in the extinguishing of fires if the consumer reports the use to the city in writing within 10 days of the usage.
