1. Installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Engineering Design Manual and Standard Drawings by the property owner or customer; and
2. Maintained in good order by the property owner or customer.
C. The property owner or customer will be held responsible for loss or damage occurring from the meter to and including the property, resulting from leaks, freezing, or otherwise.
