Such application shall be in a form acceptable to the City and shall contain information as the City may reasonably require, including supporting data fully describing other sources of water, as well as the manner of disposition of water alleged to be excluded from the City sewerage system. If it is established to the satisfaction of the City Engineer that a portion of the water utilized by the premises does not and cannot enter the City sewerage system, then the City may require or permit the installation of additional meters at the owner's or interested party's expense, in such a manner as to measure either the quantity of water actually excluded from the City sewerage system or the actual quantity of water discharged thereto.. Meters shall be of a type suitable for the service they are to perform and shall meet with the approval of the City Engineer. In addition, they shall be installed and maintained in a manner satisfactory to the City. The City Engineer may establish reasonable regulations to ensure the integrity of the measuring devices to be accessible to him or her at any reasonable hour for inspection.
