(D) Non-residential water customers whose average monthly water use is greater than 375,000 gallons (plus 500 one-hundred cubic feet) shall reduce their water usage by 25% to 33% based on the annual average. Water consumption in excess of the annual average water consumption may result in an excess demand surcharge of double water and sewer rates for all water consumption that exceeds the annual average water use.
(E) It is the primary responsibility of each non-residential water customer to meet its mandated water use reduction goal in whatever manner possible, including limitation of operating hours or days if necessary.
(F) Each non-residential water user shall provide access to city personnel for purposes of meter reading and monitoring of compliance of this subchapter. All reasonable efforts will be made to contact customers to arrange for access.
