I acknowledge that a plumbing permit must be obtained from the Building and Zoning Department before installing the cooling tower submeters and/or backflow prevention device(s).   

I also acknowledge that Fort Collins Utilities staff must be provided submeter readings monthly on the meter read date specified by Fort Collins Utilities in order to receive the evaporative loss credits on my monthly wastewater billings and that failure to provide these readings will result in wastewater billings based on the water consumption as recorded by the Utilities’ water meter(s). I also acknowledge Fort Collins Utilities allowance of this method of estimating wastewater volume as an accommodation and Fort Collins Utilities may discontinue at any time, in its discretion, with advance notice to customer. Failure of the submeter for any reason, entitles Fort Collins Utilities to bill for wastewater service at based on water consumption.  The submeter must be owned and maintained by the customer. Costs associated with testing the accuracy of the meter are payable by the customer.
