Hello professional plumbers. Thank you for your response. I called Rheem, they said that there are two possible reasons why the water was pouring down both elements: 1. Water pressure. 2. The tank leaking. In my opinion, this was cause by the water pressure cause by the city meter installation.

Clearly you need to get the building inspector involved or the city will never have to deal with it's improper installation.
