13.04.300 Phased meter installation program.

California Water Code Section 527 requires the city to install water meters on all water service connections on or before January 1, 2025. In order to comply with this requirement, the director shall develop and implement a phased program to accomplish, by January 1, 2025, the installation of water meters on all city water service connections that existed without meters as of January 1, 2005. Such program shall comply with any requirements specified or approved by resolution(s) of the city council, including resolution(s) adopted prior to the effective date of the ordinance enacting this section. The director may adopt standards and requirements to implement the provisions of this section. Customers shall pay such rates, fees and/or charges as may be established from time to time by resolution of the city council to fund, among other costs, the development and implementation of the phased meter installation program.
