A.      A responsible party shall install an approved measuring device to monitor the volume of water withdrawn, delivered, trans- ported, recharged, stored, replenished, recovered, and used.

B.       A responsible party shall install and use a sufficient number of approved measuring devices to allow for the separate monitor- ing and reporting of the volume of water passing through the measured system pursuant to the following categories of rights:

1.        Irrigation grandfathered rights,

2.        Non-irrigation grandfathered rights,

3.        Service area rights,

4.        Groundwater withdrawal permits, and

5.        Recovery well permits or water storage permits.

This subsection does not require separate measuring devices for rights within each category unless otherwise required by

A.R.S. Title 45, a permit, rule, or order pursuant to that Title.

C.      An approved measuring device which measures groundwater withdrawals shall be installed as close to the wellhead as is practical, consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions. An approved measuring device which measures another point in the measured system shall be installed as close as is practical to the point of delivery, receipt, transportation, recharge, stor- age, replenishment, recovery, or use which the device is intended to measure, consistent with the manufacturer’s instructions.
