(A) Users without source meters. For users where, in the opinion of the Wastewater Operations Manager, if it is unnecessary or impractical to install meters, the quantity of wastewater may be based upon an estimate prepared by the Wastewater Operations Manager. This estimate shall be based upon a rational determination of the wastewater discharged and may consider such factors as the number of fixtures, seating capacity, population equivalent, annual production of goods and services or such other determinants of water use necessary to estimate the wastewater volume discharged.
(B) Users with source meters. For users who, in the opinion of the Wastewater Operations Manager, divert a significant portion of their flow from a sanitary sewer, the user charges may be based upon an estimate of the volume prepared by the user, provided the user obtains wastewater discharge authorization and pays the applicable user charges and fees. The estimate must include the method and calculations used to determine the wastewater volume and may consider such factors as the number of fixtures, seating capacity, population equivalents, annual production of goods and services, or such other determinations of water use necessary to estimate the wastewater volume discharged.
