Water meters and reservations for the Upcountry system

A. If additional source for the upcountry water system becomes available, the director shall process applications for water meters in the order of the priority list up to the average day capacity of any additional source with allowance for the department's operational standards. The department shall not issue a water meter to any applicant who is not on the priority list until all applicants who are on said priority list have either accepted water service or have been removed from the priority list pursuant to this chapter. B. Prior to the installation of a water meter, an applicant shall complete water system improvements to the premises and/or to the department's water system, provided that the improvements are necessary to meet the water system requirements set forth in this article, or to meet the fire protection requirements pursuant to the County's fire code. C. If an applicant from the priority list is unable to accept water service immediately, the department may issue a reservation for water service up to the requested allocation available at the time the request is made, in accordance with terms and conditions set forth in section 14.07.090 of this code.
