For the purpose of assessing charges for water service, reading meters and collecting such charges, the Director of Public Service, hereinafter "Director" shall fix the dates for reading such water meters and for payment of bills for water so furnished, the amount of which shall be determined in the manner provided in this Chapter.
(Ord. 4604-76. Passed 1-3-77.)
Water bills shall be payable at intervals of three months, but the Director may render bills monthly on industrial or commercial accounts where meters are read monthly. In rendering monthly bills, he shall allow one-third of the usual minimum quantity of water for one-third of the established minimum charge.
(Ord. 5641-86. Passed 5-19-86.)
The supply of water from the service connection may be measured by one or more meters. If more than one meter is used, they shall be set in an area not under the control of any tenant, and accessible to the Division of Water at all times. Where a building contains multiple dwelling units or one or more commercial units and the supply is measured by a single meter or master meter, the average unit water consumption shall be determined by dividing the number of units into the total metered water consumption for the last billing period; the water charge per unit shall then be computed on the basis of the average unit water consumption and the water bill computed by multiplying the number of units by the unit water charge.
