description: "The existing Water Measurement Law requires every water purveyor, as defined, who sells, leases, rents, furnishes, or delivers water service, as defined, for potable water, to any person, as defined, to require, as a condition of new water service, that a suitable water meter to measure the water service be installed, requires that the cost of installation of the meter be paid by the user of water, and authorizes the water purveyor to impose and collect charges for those costs. These requirements are not applicable to a community water system that serves fewer than 15 service connections used by yearlong residents or regularly serves fewer than 25 yearlong residents, or a single well that services the water supply of a single-family residential home.

# California AB 975 (20092010) — Water corporations: water meters.
|
|
|
|
The existing Water Measurement Law requires every water purveyor, as defined, who sells, leases, rents, furnishes, or delivers water service, as defined, for potable water, to any person, as defined, to require, as a condition of new water service, that a suitable water meter to measure the water service be installed, requires that the cost of installation of the meter be paid by the user of water, and authorizes the water purveyor to impose and collect charges for those costs. These requirements are not applicable to a community water system that serves fewer than 15 service connections used by yearlong residents or regularly serves fewer than 25 yearlong residents, or a single well that services the water supply of a single-family residential home. The Water Measurement Law contains additional requirements relative to the installation of water meters and charges for water relative to urban water suppliers, as defined. The Water Measurement Law authorizes a water purveyor, including an urban water supplier, to recover the cost of providing services related to the purchase, installation, and operation and maintenance of water meters from rates, fees, or charges.
