ELIMINATION OF MUNICIPAL CODE Assistant City
SECTION 14.16.110/"EXCHANGING METERS" Manager
Statement of the Matter
Staff has found that there are conflicting sections in the Municipal Code
regarding water meter exchanges.
Section 14.16.060, "Installation Charges", provides that in the event
that the customer wishes to exchange a smaller meter for a larger one,
he shall not be required to pay any charge. If he substitutes a larger
meter for a smaller one, he shall pay the usual charge for the larger
meter.
Section 14.16.110, "Exchanging Meters", provides that when a consumer
exchanges a smaller meter for- a larger one, a $35.00 credit shall be
applied to the computed cost of the larger meter. When a larger meter
is exchanged for a smaller meter, the consumer shall then pay the pre-
vailing installation charge for the smaller meter size.
In staff's opinion, the provisions of Section 14.16.060 should prevail
in order to encourage the use of smaller meters .
