• Section 50: Fire Service To Be Metered - Second Service To Premises. Fire service connections shall be supplied only through an approved fire service meter or a detector check meter. In the case of premises for which both fire protection service and other water service for such uses as domestic, commercial, industrial or manufacturing purposes is supplied, there may be two service installations made to the premises; one for fire service only and one for other water service. These service connection functions may also be combined in a single service connection with the approval of the Superintendent. Section 51: Fire Service and Second Service Charges. In the event two separate service connections are installed, the fire protection system so served shall consist of an automatic sprinkler system only without inter-con- nection to the other water service and without additional outlets which could normally be used for other than fire suppression purposes. Water used through the fire service for fire suppression purposes and limited testing of the system will normally be furnished without any charge in addition to the monthly minimum charge set forth in Section 72 herein. Water consumed through the non-fire service connection shall be paid for at the applicable metered rates. Section 52: Fire Service - Detector Check Meter - Unauthorized Use. If occasional or repeated monthly consumptions occur, as shown by a detector check meter, indicating unauthorized use of water which is not for fire suppression purposes, and if, after being informed of such unauthorized usage by the Water Department, the customer shall fail or refuse to take corrective action to assure that the unauthorized consumption will not continue, the detector check meter shall be replaced by an approved fire service meter and the customer shall pay all costs incident to such replacement. Thereafter the customer shall pay for all water used through such replaced service at the applicable metered rate. -24-
