City Code Section
- Upon approval by the Chief Engineer, the Portland Water Bureau may permit the master metering of more than one water service, or to wholesale customers. In such case, the owner or tenant of the premise served must designate someone who must, through written agreement with the Portland Water Bureau, be responsible for the payment of all water charges and the acceptance of service of all water related notices. This person is liable for all water related charges until the agreement is terminated or a written agreement is established with another party. In the event payment for water charges is not made in full when due, the Portland Water Bureau may terminate the service pursuant to normal procedures, in spite of the tender of partial payment by any other owner or tenant of the premises so served.
