(a) When a water meter breaks or fails to operate properly, a customer will be granted an adjustment for any billing periods affected thereby. Adjustments will be made to the customer's water billing by subtracting the customers average consumption for the three-month period immediately preceding the affected period from the consumption indicated for the affected period. The customer will then be billed for one-half of the resulting figure plus the average of the three-month period. In the event prior consumption records are insufficient, the customer will be billed for one-half of the consumption indicated for the affected period.
(b) Any adjustments made to the consumption level of commercial water accounts shall also apply on a proportionate basis to the reduction of any sewer charges based on the water consumption indicated for the affected period. Adjustments shall be limited to service connections inside the corporate limits of the city.
