§ 53.003  WATER CHARGES DURING NEW CONSTRUCTION.
   (A)   There is imposed a charge for water services rendered to unimproved lots on which water service has been made available for purposes of construction of improvements but said service is not metered.
   (B)   The charge for water service shall be a sum equal to $0.25 per $1,000 of the valuation stated in the application for a building permit for the premises in question.
   (C)   The charge hereby imposed is for temporary usage only which is occasioned by the impracticality of metering during the early stages of construction and a meter shall be installed as soon as reasonably possible and, in any event, shall be installed forthwith upon notice to do so from the Superintendent of the Sewer and Water Department.
