PSI PREREQUISITE 2: WATER METERING
REQUIRED
INTENT
To conserve scarce water resources over the long-term and raise owner
and consumer awareness of this need.
REQUIREMENTS
All projects will include metered water use in the final development to
the extent possible. State and seasonal projects can apply
for an exemption under special circumstances.
For public water systems, the system shall individually meter users,
and the metering shall be strictly enforced. If service to
the development or structure is not provided via public water system,
the individual users shall individually meter use (i.e., irrigation
users, individual wells, etc.). Where technologies allow, the
intent is to raise owner and consumer awareness about their water use
and potential for waste with the ultimate goal being to promote
conservation and wise use of water resources.
If water has to be hauled to the site via water truck or portable tank,
addition of a meter to the source will not qualify for compliance with
this prerequisite except in the case where the structure is owned and
maintained by a government agency for the purpose of a visitor center
or other public facility that ultimately minimizes human waste in areas
where high foot traffic occurs. If the proposed structure is
a private development with the need to haul water, this prerequisite
will not be met as it is generally believed that this type of
development should not occur in areas where water resources are not
readily available to sustain the development.
