Only one metered service connection shall normally be installed to a premises under single ownership. If, however, a consumer shall request that more than one metered service be connected to a premises under single ownership and the superintendent shall agree that the particular individual circumstances warrant such additional connection(s), the party requesting same shall make application and payment in the regular manner and such additional connection(s) shall be considered to be solely for the benefit and convenience of the applicant. The premises shall thereafter be charged for water service through each service connection independently as though service were being provided to two or more premises, and the minimum charge and the charge for water consumed shall be computed separately for each metered service; provided that the premises shall remain liable for a lien for water charges as provided in Section 14.16.850. (Ord. 1237-86 § 43, 1986.)
