(a) All water that passes through a meter shall be charged for water pollution control use. The only basis for adjusting a bill is an inaccurate meter or a documented water leak accepted by the water supplier and credited against the water suppliers water service bill.
(b) If a meter fails to register or is found to be out of order, the customer will be charged at the average consumption for previous comparable periods.
(c) An allowance shall be made or rebate allowed to any sewer customer on account of water leakage in the event the supplier of water services to the sewer customer recognizes the existence of the water leak and gives the customer a credit against the customer's water services bill because of the leak. The amount of the credit against the sewer bill, because of a water leak recognized and credited by the water supplier, shall be in accordance with the amount of the credit granted to the customer by the water supplier due to the water leak.
