Question:
Regarding a multi family dwelling under one roof with a shared well that provides water to both (or more) units, is there a code reference requiring the well power to be on a separate meter?
As Always, thanks for providing this forum.

Answer:
Hey Tom thanks for your question and you are welcome. I believe you are thinking about 210.25 but it does not exactly state that it needs to be on a separate meter. The well pump would not be permitted to be supplied from a panelboard in one of the dwelling units. But a if a panelboard is located in a common area with a single meter for everything and the landlord included electricity as part of the rent, it seems that a separate meter would not be required.
