Yes. Local ordinances with new meter prohibitions would also generally contain exceptions. The exceptions could vary by agency, but typically would be: (1) a valid unexpired building permit issued for the project; (2) the project is necessary to protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare; or (3) the increase in water demands due to the project are offset prior to issuance of the meter.
