(A) In order that domestic and residential users of sewage services shall not be penalized for the sprinkling of lawns during the
months of July, August, and September, the billing for treatment plant sewage services for residences and domestic users for the months of July, August, and September shall be based on the water usage for the previous months of October, November, and December. In the event the water usage for the previous months of October, November, and December is greater than the water usage for the months of July, August, and September, then the billing for sewage service shall be computed on the actual water used in the month for which the sewage service bill is rendered.
(B) Domestic and residential sewage service, as applicable to the sprinkling charge, shall not apply to each lot, parcel of real estate, or building which is occupied and used as a residence. The sprinkling charge shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for industrial or commercial purposes. In the event a portion of the 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. In this case, the water usage registered by the water meter serving the portion of the premises used for residential purposes, would qualify under the sprinkling charge.
