§ 13.28.120. Separate connection to each consumer—Exemption grounds.

A.

A single service connection may not serve more than one premises except as provided in Section 13.28.010. Separate premises under a single ownership, control or management shall receive water through separate service connections unless the manager determines otherwise for good and sufficient reasons.

B.

When the manager investigates a request for a single service connection to provide service to more than one premises, he shall be guided by, but shall not be restricted to, the following considerations:

1.

That the service connection will not violate the regulations against reselling or redelivering to other consumers;

2.

That the service connection will not establish a private distribution system;

3.

That the service connection will not avoid main extension requirements;

4.

That the service connection will not be a means of avoiding meter service charges or obtaining an advantageous water price without an equivalent guaranteed minimum.
