Sec. 35-21. Air conditioning or refrigeration systems.
No individual or collective air conditioning or refrigeration
system which is installed, replaced or enlarged after April 21,
1958, and receives its water supply from the city water department,
shall be permitted to use at any time more than
the equivalent of a continuous flow of seven gallons of water
per minute. All individual or collective air conditioning and
refrigeration systems installed, replaced or enlarged after
April 21, 1958, and using water from the city water department
in excess of seven gallons per minute shall be equipped
with a water-conserving device, such as an economizer,
evaporative condenser, water cooling tower or other similar
apparatus, which conserving device shall not consume for
makeup purposes in excess of fifteen per cent of the consumption
that would normally be used without such device.
In order to enforce the provisions of this section, any authorized
personnel of the city shall have the right of entry
upon any premises affected hereby for the purpose of inspecting
any such air conditioning or refrigeration system. (Code
1959, § 35-21.)
