The residential sewage service billing based upon metered water usage readings which occur in each of the months June, July, August and September and which are billed in the months of July, August, September and October, respectively, of each year shall be based upon the average quantity of water metered during the water billing cycles ending in the months of March, April and May preceding the months of June, July, August and September. Averages resulting in fractions of 1,000 gallons shall be raised to the next whole thousand gallons in computing the billings for the months of June, July, August and September. There must have been metered water usage during each of the months of February, March, April and May for this average to become the baseline usage for the Summer Residential Rate Adjustment to be effective. For those residential sewage service users who do not have a water usage average for the cycles ending in the months of February, March, April and May, the sewage service billing for the months of June, July, August and September shall be based upon actual water usage, or at the option of the user, their base water usages for June, July, August and September shall be based upon 2,000 gallons usage per person upon authenticated representation being made to the Utility Billing Office of the number of persons then residing at the billing address.
