AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF COSTA MESA MAKING PROVISION FOR ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE
RELATING TO GAS METERS, AND SETTING FORTH
REASONS THEREFOR.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY
I ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The City Council of the City of Costa Mesa
hereby finds and declares that public utility gas meters which
are installed on residential housing are, by reason of their
form and structure and the pressure regulator device unsightly
to the human eye. The City Council further finds and declares
that modern building practices can be followed which will obscure
the meter equipment from the human eye in residential housing.
The City Council further finds and declares that practical
inexpensive methods of architectural design in the residential
structure can provide for the obscurity of gas meter installations
without unreasonable cost to the developer or purchaser. The
City Council further finds and declares that the health, safety
and welfare of the community require regulation of the installa-
tion of gas meters.
Accordingly, there is added to the Costa Mesa Municipal
Code, Section 5-54 which shall read as follows:
SECTION 2: "Section 5-54 Gas Meter Installation
The installation of gas meters on all residential housing
units shall be performed in a manner so as to obscure said
installation from view from any place on or off the property.
Said installation shall be in a manner acceptable to the Public
Utility and shall be in the form of a vault, wall cabinet or
wall box, and shall be installed in accordance with standard
plans and specifications of the City of Costa Mesa."
SECTION 3: This ordinance shall take effect and be in
full force and effect thirty (30) days from and after its passage,
