" .Those establishments that, due to using water in their product, for unreclaimed
steam, or for other purposes where such water does not find its way to the sewer
system, may, at their own expense, install a separate meter within their system to
effectively measure the volume of such water so as to pay sewer charges only on that
which is deposited in the sewer.
"This meter may meter either the water system using the sewer or the remaining
quantity, as long as the two (2) systems are kept separate and apart and the utilities
office is notified of the type of water metered. The city reserves the right to inspect such
systems as a portion of the water service connections, as set out in sections 55-20
through 55-32. Failure to provide such sewer meter will be taken as agreement to pay
the sewer charge on all water metered to the customer."

"Sec. 55-148. Fees.
