<br /> <br />separately but together with the occupied units shall be computed by deducting one <br />monthly minimum charge for each vacant unit from the original total monthly bill <br />for all of the units. <br />D. In order to assist in monitoring sewage flows and water conservation, all applicants for <br />service connections shall provide a separate meter and water system for irrigation purposes <br />when an applicant's site qualifies under the City of Pleasanton's Landscape Ordinance <br />thresholds for separate domestic and irrigation metering depending on the size of the irrigated <br />areas, or as otherwise determined in the reasonable discretion of the director for submetered <br />or separately metered sites, and may provide separate meter and water systems for other <br />water consumptive uses which do not have the potential to generate flows to the sewerage <br />system. Any such meter shall be installed in a manner and location satisfactory to the <br />director. Upon request by the applicant, the director may waive, at his or her sole discretion, <br />this requirement if he or she finds that the volume of irrigation water would be minimal and <br />the cost of a separate meter and water system would be disproportionately uneconomical <br />relative to sewer user charges to be saved. <br />E. If, in the opinion of the city, it is doubtful if satisfactory water service can be given, due to <br />location or elevation of the premises, then the city may require a written release from liability <br />for any damage or inconvenience that may occur by reason of insufficient pressure or <br />inadequate volume of water or intermittent supply. The release shall, without further notice <br />from the city, remain in effect for all consumers taking water through the service, until <br />changes, extensions, or betterments may be made to the distribution system by the city. <br />F. Failure by any person or any consumer to file his or her application containing the <br />information required by this chapter shall constitute a violation of this chapter. No <br />application shall be conclusive as to the matters therein set forth nor shall the filing of any <br />application preclude the city from collecting from the consumer responsible for payment (as <br />provided in this chapter) by appropriate action such sum as is actually due and payable for <br />water service under the provisions of this chapter. Each application shall be subject to <br />verification by the director. Any person who takes possession of and uses water from the <br />water system without having made application for service pursuant to this chapter shall be <br />held liable for the full amount of the service rendered. <br />G. The city may require a written contract with any consumer as a condition precedent to water <br />service in any case where unusual quantities of water or construction of special facilities are <br />or will be required; provided, however, that any such contract shall not modify the rate <br />structure provided in this chapter. <br />H. No rent or other charge shall be paid by the city for any meter or other facilities located on a <br />consumer's premises. <br />I. All service connections, meters, main extensions and installations paid for by applicants, and <br />all other facilities furnished by the department or the city, whether located wholly or partially <br />on public or private property, shall be and remain the property of the city, and the department <br />shall have the right to repair, replace and maintain the same and the right to remove the same <br />upon discontinuance of service. <br />J. The city shall not be responsible for the installation or maintenance of any water lines beyond <br />Page 197 of 893
