(A) The city may require the owner of any fire protection line to install, at his or her expense, either a detection check valve with bypass meter or a full flow fire line meter. Such a valve or meter may be required upon the initial connection of the fire line to the city’s system and shall be required if the city subsequently has reason to believe that unmetered water is being lost or used for other than fire protection purposes from any such line.
(B) (1) When a detector check meter indicates usage of water for other than fire protection, the owner shall be required, at his or her expense, to furnish and install a full flow meter of approved design.
(2) Such meter shall be arranged to meter all water supplied to the premises for all purposes, including fire protection.
