Residential Fire Sprinkler and Submeter Exemptions. Where the installation of a fire sprinkler system or a water submeter in a residential use causes an increase in the monthly water service charge, the following exemptions shall apply to Section 13.04.130(A), solely for the purposes of calculating applicable fees:
A. Where fire sprinklers are required by the California Building Code for new single family dwellings and duplexes, the water monthly service charge shall be based on the meter size determined by the fixture count instead of the meter size required due to the additional fire sprinkler flow.
B. Where the installation of submeters alone causes head losses that increases the water meter size, the monthly water service charge listed in Section 13.04.130(A) shall be based on sizing without the submeter losses. This exemption shall not reduce the fee where other factors, other than the submeter losses, cause a larger meter size to be required.
