(A) In the event a lot, parcel of real estate or building discharging sanitary sewage, industrial waste, water or other liquids into the town’s sanitary sewer system, either directly or indirectly, and the water, or any portion thereof, used thereon or therein is not measured by a meter, or is measured by a meter not acceptable to the town, then the amount of water used shall be otherwise measured or determined by the town in accordance with I.S.B.H. Bulletin S.E. 13, Table 4, latest edition, in order to ascertain the rates of charge, or the owner or other interested party, at his or her expense, may install and maintain meters, weirs, volumetric measuring devices or any adequate and approved method of measurement acceptable to the town for the determination of the sewage discharge.
(B) The town will not be responsible for installing, reading, calibrating, validating or calculating values from any types of meters which do not apply to the direct operations of the town; this includes any efforts by well users who might wish the town to read usage from their wells. (The town does read the two main sewer mag meters which discharge to Evansville Water and Sewer). Water meters installed by residents or businesses for the purpose of separating sewer calculated water use from non-sewer calculated water use will be the sole responsibility of the individual owners and not be part of any sewer rate calculations by the town. The water meter readings provided by German Township Water District and Evansville Water Works will be the sole source of data used for town residents’ sewer calculations.
(C) Where a metered water supply is used for fire protection, the town may, in its discretion, make adjustments in the user charge as may be equitable.
(D) For the service rendered to the town, the town shall be subject to the same rates and charges hereinabove provided, or to rates and charges established in harmony therewith.
