Submit your completed application to indianameters@uiwater.com.
A deduction meter can be used to identify and deduct water usage that does not discharge into the wastewater facilities. If a residential, commercial, industrial, or governmental customer believes that a significant volume of metered water is not discharged to the wastewater facilities, said user can, at its own expense and with approval from Community Utilities of Indiana Inc. (CUII), install such additional meters, metered services, or building sewer flow meters as required to establish the volume of metered water not discharged to the wastewater facilities or the actual volume of wastewater discharged to the wastewater facilities.
Metered water that is not discharged to the wastewater facilities shall not be subject to sewage disposal usage charges.
All requests to install additional water meters, meter services, or building sewer meters shall be made in writing to CUII and emailed to indianameters@uiwater.com. The request shall clearly state the reasons why the customer believes these facilities are needed and shall include a detailed description of the facilities proposed.
No water meters, meter service or building sewer meters may be installed without written approval from CUII.
All building sewer meters shall be installed by a licensed plumber while a representative of CUII is present to observe and inspect said installation. Only CUII-approved building sewer meters will be allowed. All deduct water meters and meter couplings shall be furnished by CUII. All costs for the installation of the meters shall be at the expense of the customer requiring the meter.
Backflow prevention device is required. All buildings connected to CUII’s water supply shall be equipped with backflow prevention devices, as designated by CUII’s representative. All such devices shall meet the State of Indiana requirements and shall be installed within 30 days of written notice to the owner of such property to correct such deficiency. There shall be a backflow prevention device installed when there is a deduct meter installed.
The type of device is determined by the Indiana State Plumbing codes; at a minimum, the device will need to be a testable device. The costs for this device, installation and annual testing shall be borne by the customer.
