The city will not render or cause to be rendered any free services of any nature by its water and wastewater systems, or any part thereof, nor will any preferential rates be established for users of the same class. In the event the city or any department, agency, instrumentality, officer, or employee thereof shall avail itself of the facilities or services provided by the water and sewer systems, or any part thereof, the same rates, fees, or charges applicable to other users receiving like services under similar circumstances shall be charged to the city, to any department, agency, instrumentality, officer, or employee. These charges shall be paid as they accrue, and the city shall transfer from its general funds sufficient sums to pay these charges. The revenues so received shall be deemed to be revenues derived from the operation of the water and sewer systems, and shall be deposited and accounted for in the same manner as other revenues derived from the operation of the water and sewer systems.
