In every case where exemption is granted a meter is fixed and payment is required for all water consumed in excess of the quantity allowed free in consideration of the sum paid as rates on the tenement.
As regards the tenements still to be connected, in some cases they are without water services and in others the services require to be altered before a connection can be made.
