The City hereby determines that the most practical, cost-effective and accurate method, given available technology, of measuring the use of the sewage collection and disposal system by all users that receive water service from the City of Ionia's water supply system is by a meter or meters installed to measure water usage by such user. Where a water supply system is not available or is not utilized, a meter or meters installed to the private well shall be used to measure the water usage. In cases where there is no water service, or a meter on a private well is either dysfunctional or does not exist, a residential equivalent unit basis shall be used to determine usage of the sewage collection and disposal system.
