Separate meter for each property.

Charlotte City Code § 23-132

in effect

Sec. 23-132. - Separate meter for each property. (a) Property owned by separate parties must have separate water service where each piece of property has a city main accessible for a connection. CMU shall not be required to furnish water service unless the property is in compliance with the requirements of this section. (b) The joint use of water by separate property owners through one service connection will be allowed only where no water main is accessible to all of the property. (c) When three or more premises are owned by the same party and are supplied through the same meter, the owner shall be responsible for paying the charges for water and sewer service, if any, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. (d) When multiple premises owned by the same party are supplied through the same meter and, afterwards, part of the property is sold, the parcel sold must be disconnected from the supply and a separate meter installed, if the property sold is to be supplied with CMU water. Premises under the same ownership will be supplied through one service connection only when they are adjoining. (Code 1985, § 23-86)
