Only one contract for the service of water for residential use will be entered into with respect to any one residential lot; provided further, that there shall be no limitations as to the number of separate contracts for water service for commercial purposes on one lot.
(B) Water-only service, providing only water service to a residential lot and no sewer service, shall be limited to: a new construction site prior to connecting to the public sewer system and/or the issue of a certificate of occupancy; or a lot with or without a residential structure, using water service only for irrigation and/or pool filling and/or water service to a dock attached to the lot, with no sewer service for any use. There shall be no leak adjustments for a water-only service.
