Kingdom City Meter Location Hardship Agreements ordinance (§ 700.350)
Chapter 700: Water Regulations · Article VII. Water Service
In short: If a meter's location would cause a user undue hardship and expense, the Village may, at its sole discretion, make a written agreement to read a meter on private property at a remote residence or water use. No user can force the Village to agree, and the Village may instead apply the multiple-unit residence rule.
Our plain-English summary, not the official text or legal advice. The ordinance below is what counts.
When the location of the meter would, in the Village's opinion, cause undue hardship and expense on the user, the Village may enter into a special agreement whereby a right-of-entry is granted to the Village to read a meter placed on private property for remotely located residences or remotely located water uses. A special agreement shall be, in writing, and no user or applicant for service shall have any right to force the Village to enter into a special agreement. A special agreement shall be entered into solely at the discretion of the Village. The Village may in the alternative apply the multiple-unit residence rule stated in these rules and regulations.
