Official Text

That the Water and Sewer Superintendent report to this Board on whether Somerville homeowners could install a separate water meter for outdoor water lines, since water used for gardening does not go down the sewer and therefore users should not be charged sewer fees, and since many neighboring cities and towns allow separate outside water meters.
