1. Quantity Charge. When more than one Consumer Unit is served through a common water meter, a multiple consumption charge per quarter shall be imposed for such service, which charge shall be calculated in the following manner: (i) the total consumption through such service connection and meter shall be divided by the number of Consumer Units served thereby; (ii) the schedule of water rates, rents and charges established under subsection (1) of § 26-124 shall be applied to the resultant quotient; and (iii) the resultant pro-rata charge for each Consumer Unit shall be multiplied by the number of Consumer Units served through such service connection and water meter to arrive at the total bill for all Consumer Units served through the common meter and service connection.
2. Minimum Quarterly Charge. There shall be charged a minimum quarterly charge for each Consumer Unit as follows:
A. Where two Consumer Units are served through one connection and one meter, each such Consumer Unit shall be charged a minimum charge of $16.50 or 1/2 the bill based on total consumption, whichever is larger.
B. Where three Consumer Units are served through one connection and one meter, each such Consumer Unit shall be charged a minimum charge of $16.50 or 1/2 of the bill based on total consumption whichever is larger.
C. Where four or more Consumer Units are served through one connection and one meter, each such Consumer Unit shall be charged a minimum charge of $16.50 or a proportionate amount based on the total bill, whichever is larger.
