(A) The water meter of each consumer or subscriber shall be so located on the premises of the dwelling, household, residence, or establishment so that it is readily and easily accessible at all times for inspections and/or monthly meter readings. In the event that the Common Council deems a water meter inaccessible, awkward, or unhandy for said meter readings and inspections, the consumer or subscriber shall install a remote reading device as approved by the Common Council to provide such accessibility. Any dwelling, household, residence, or establishment that is sold to another owner or newly constructed shall automatically be required to install a remote reading device.
(Prior Code, § 5.0310)
(B) Water meters shall be read every calendar month by a duly employed or appointed employee, or agent, of the city, unless some contingency or condition precludes such reading or readings.
(Prior Code, § 5.0315)
