   (A)   For water supplied to customers outside the corporate limits, upon approval of supplying water to said customer the rates shall be 200% of the base and usage rates listed above.
   (B)   (1)   Each individual residential and commercial unit being supplied city water, including each individual home within a mobile home park, shall be assessed, on a monthly basis, a base rate for water usage, whether separately metered or not. For example, each occupied unit of a four-plex being provided city water shall be assessed for a base rate each month. The usage rate, however, shall be assessed per meter, not per unit served. Units within a complex, whether residential, commercial or mobile home park, separately metered for water usage shall be separately billed for both base and usage rates and the amount of water used by those units within the complex shall be subtracted from the amount of water shown as being used by the master meter for the complex for purposes of billing usage to the owner of the complex.
      (2)   Returning to the four-plex example, if all four units were occupied and being provided city water through one meter, the party owning the property would be billed for four monthly base rates, and the usage rate would be assessed against that party for all water used. If one of the four-plex units were separately metered, that unit would be billed separately for not only its base rate, but for its usage as well, and the amount of water it used would be subtracted from the master meter reading to determine the usage to bill the owner of the complex and that party would be billed for that usage, as well as for three base rates.
