If any water meter is out of order or if, in the judgment of the City Administrator, such meter is not making proper water measurement, the same shall be promptly repaired; and the amount of water to be paid for the term subsequent to the previous monthly reading until the meter shall be replaced in proper condition shall be determined by averaging the amount of use for such prior period as the City Administrator may deem just.
(Prior Code, § 53.44) (Ord. 261, passed 5-8-1979)
