<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Ono: Well, my comment would be I agree with Kimo. You don't have <br /> control over that, number one. It's a control issue and even if you put <br /> two meters outside a property, you still don't have control over how <br /> to hook up the interior pipelines. <br /> <br /> Smith: Do you want to add anything, Peter? <br /> <br /> <br /> Frankel: Do you want a motion? <br /> <br /> Boucher: I kind of summarized everything. As a general comment, I don't think <br /> ordinances should be addressed to individuals. We're spending a lot <br /> of time on his drain this and that. It should be a general sort of policy. <br /> <br /> And also if this was adopted, it would negate the existing exemption <br /> which we've allowed for other people which says you meter the other <br /> way. So it would need some working. But my real problem with it is <br /> there's one way which you've mentioned, I think Kimo and Hugh have <br /> mentioned, there's no way to ascertain that this meter or meters are <br /> metering all the water, especially when it's behind locked doors. And <br /> there's no mechanism to address if additions or modifications are <br /> made to.....1 mean, we may go out and inspect - oh, that looks great <br /> now but then he goes in for building permit the next month and adds a <br /> 6-bedroom wing onto his house. Guess what, there's no way <br /> administratively for us to catch that. It doesn't account for prorated <br /> infiltration, I&I (infiltration and inflow) which is part of our code. It <br /> would subject us to claims from previous customers who've already <br /> made significant changes to their plumbing to comply with our existing <br /> <br /> code. And most importantly, the Department of Water Supply now <br /> allows separate irrigation meters for this type of water. So, ,we don't <br /> even allow irrigation exemptions anymore. It's a moot point. I mean, <br /> if he had agreed back when this process started, and he put in his <br /> meters correctly, he would have gotten his exemption. He would <br /> have been grandfathered in. But at this point, he hasn't and now the <br /> rules have changed and we don't even allow these exemptions <br /> anymore. <br /> <br /> Ono: Can I make a motion? <br /> <br /> Frankel: Yes, please. <br /> <br /> Ono: I move to file this thing.... <br /> <br /> Frankel: Second. <br />
