(b)The proposed standards shall require the installation of water meters or submeters in newly constructed multiunit residential structures and mixed-use residential and commercial structures only for residential dwelling units within those structures, but shall not require installation in units within those structures that are used only for commercial purposes.

(c)(1) The department shall determine whether and under what circumstances the installation of water meters or submeters is infeasible and include in the building standards proposed in subdivision (a) the appropriate provision for exemption from this requirement. The department may consider whether there are any issues specific to high-rise structures that would require an exemption from the requirement for the installation of water meters or submeters.
