All premises using water shall be metered, except as otherwise provided in these Codified Ordinances. No person, except a Water Department employee, shall break or injure the seal of, change the location of or alter or interfere in any way with any water meter. The Director of Public Services, with the approval of the Water Board, may authorize service on flat rate charges where it is not practical to install a meter.
