(A) In order that the domestic and residential users of sewage service shall not be penalized for sprinkling lawns during the summer months, the billings of sewage services for such users shall be based upon the average water usage of the previous winter months of December, January, February, or March.
(B) In the event the water usage for the months of June, July, August, and September is greater than the water used by such user for the previous months of December, January, February, or March, respectively, then the billing for sewage services shall be computed on the water used for the previous months of December, January, February, or March.
(C) In the event water usage is less in the summer months of June, July, August, and September, then billing shall be based upon the actual water used in those summer months.
(D) Domestic and/or residential sewage service as applicable to the sprinkling rate shall apply to each lot, parcel of real estate, or building which is occupied and used as a residence. Said sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for commercial or industrial purposes. In the event a portion of such premises shall be used for commercial or industrial purposes, the owner shall have the privilege of separating the water service so that the residential portion of the premises is served through a separate meter and in such case the water usage as registered by the water meter serving such portion of the premises used for residential purposes would qualify under the sprinkling rate.
