(f) Separate meters for multiple units. Duplexes, multiple-family dwellings and structures divided into
several apartments, offices, or separate businesses, excluding hotels and motels, shall be so equipped
that each unit can be supplied with a separate meter. The rate for each meter shall be based on the
service rate schedule; provided, however, that in the case of existing buildings the city may allow one
meter of the proper size to continue to be utilized. The rates for that meter shall be based on a standby
minimum base charge for each dwelling unit or business unit. The actual water usage shall be computed
on the primary unit, according to the meter reading, and so billed. In all such instances of multiple units,
the property owner shall be billed for all service charges for all units.
