The charges made for sewerage service rendered to each lot, parcel of real estate or building having any connection with the city's sewerage system or otherwise discharging sewage into the system, either directly or indirectly, shall be based upon the quantity of water presumed to enter the public sewers after being used in or on the property, as the quantity is measured by the water meter or meters there in use by the city's water utility, except as herein otherwise provided. Flat charges shall be assessed on a monthly basis. For the purposes of this chapter, a month shall constitute 25 - 35 days. Service periods falling outside this parameter shall be prorated.
