(A) In instances where a residential water user applies for and demonstrates a usage for water which: is uniquely distinguishable from typical residential use(s) (such as, for example, the watering of livestock or the filling and maintenance of a swimming pool or landscape pond which does not discharge its waters into the village’s public sewerage systems); the applicant has at least one water meter on the same tract of residential property owned by the applicant which at all times will be subject to billing under the applicable residential sewer use rates and charges; such usage will take place wholly upon the owners property and no part of said water to be used will be transported off the property; and which use will not result in any part of the separately metered water being discharged directly or indirectly into the public sewerage systems of the village, such residential water user, if approved by the village, may at the user’s sole cost and expense, have installed one additional meter which will measure water usage which qualifies under the above criteria.
(B) Such qualifying metered usage shall be billed only at the applicable water usage rates and charges and shall be exempt from billing under the otherwise applicable sewer use rates and charges. Such exempt status shall run with the land and shall not otherwise be assignable by the owner of the property upon which the exempt meter is located; however, should the exempt use, for any reason, cease to meet one or more of the above qualifications, such exempt metered usage shall immediately and without further notice become and remain non-exempt and shall be subject to application of the sewer use rates and charges then in effect.
