In order that residential users of sewage services shall not be penalized for the sprinkling of lawns during the months of June, July, August, and September, the billing for sewage service for residences for said months of June, July, August, and September shall be based upon the water usage for the previous months of December, January, February, and March. In the event that water usage for the said previous months of December, January, February, and March is greater than the water usage of said months of June, July, August, and September, then the billing for sewage service shall be computed on the actual water used in the month for which the sewage service bill is being rendered. Residential sewage service, as applicable to the sprinkling rate, shall apply to each lot, parcel of real estate, or building which is occupied and used as a residence. Said sprinkling rate shall not apply to any premises which are partially or wholly used for industrial or commercial purposes. In the event a portion of such premises shall be used for commercial or industrial purposes, the owner shall have the privilege of separating the water service so that the residential portion of the premises is served through a separate meter, and in such case, the water usage as registered by the water meter serving such portion of the premises used for residential purposes would qualify under the sprinkling rate.
